"Aerodynamic Measurements presents the most comprehensive review of the theoretical bases which experimental techniques used in aerodynamics are based on. Limitations of each method in terms of accuracy, response time, and complexity are addressed. The book will serve as a guide in choosing the most pertinent technique for each type of flow field including: 1D, 2D, 3D, steady or unsteady, subsonic, supersonic or hypersonic. It also describes the evolution of specific techniques from old-fashioned mechanical processes to modern computerized versions aiding students and practitioners to understand results of their findings."-- Provided by publisher.
