Abstract
It is in general not easy for an experimenter in fluid dynamics to justify and evaluate precisely the measurement accuracy. Fortunately a rough realistic estimate of the accuracy may often be obtained without too much trouble and this is most of the time sufficient to guarantee the validity of the results. In addition, some simple complementary experiment such as flow visualization may help to insure that the results are at least qualitatively correct.
