Experimental Hydrodynamics for Flow Around Bodies explains complex novel experimental methodologies to solve a wide range of important flow problems in industry and research. It starts by examining the fundamental physical laws necessary for the optimization of techniques for hydro-aeromechanics, heat engineering, and other disciplines related to flow. The reader is then provided with detailed explanations of novel experimental methods, before the results of physical research which lead to new solutions for practical flow problems. These results are also necessary for the construction of theoretical models that provide improved descriptions for numerous problems in various scientific fields. Frequent discussions and examples of practical applications throughout the text, in addition to the foundational theoretical material help a range of readers to engage with these methods and apply them to problems in fields including drag reduction, noiseless movement, optimal maneuvering, intense heat transfer, control of separated vortices, wind power, and economical energy consumption. Provides instructions for set up of innovative experiments for drag reduction, which will be of great interest to researchers in aerospace, marine, and automotive engineeringDescribes in detail a variety of novel experiments to investigate boundary layer flow, together with experimental data that can be used with computational modelsAssists with bio-inspired hydrodynamic design by providing models of a waving fin mover, and investigations of analogs of hydrobiont skin covers INDICE: 1.
