About this title

Synopsis

Instrumentation and Measurements in Compressible Flows presents detailed information on experiments in compressible fluid flows including technical information pertaining to a wide variety of applications and the experimental basis for compressible flows. A step-by-step procedure is given to estimate the measurement errors as well as the uncertainty. Computational fluid dynamics data can be validated with the experimental results presented in the book. Further, it answers most pertinent queries related to conducting experiments and measuring the data at very high speeds. This volume also includes MATLABŪ programs for selected topics.

Features:

• Presents detailed coverage of instrumentation, measurements, and experiments in compressible flows
• Covers both experimental and applied aspects of gas dynamics
• Provides a real-time exposure to the modern supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel applications
• Explains supersonic and hypersonic shock/boundary-layer interactions and their control
• Includes real-time experimental problems and their analysis

This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in aerospace and mechanical engineering.

About the Author

Dr. Mrinal Kaushik is an Associate Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. Prior to joining this institute in 2013, he worked at the Defence Institute of Advanced Technology in Pune, the General Motors Technical Center in Bangalore, the Indian Space Research Organization in Trivandrum, and Tata Consultancy Services (Mumbai). Dr. Kaushik earned his Ph.D., M.Tech., and B.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering from IIT Kanpur in 2012, 2003, and 1999, respectively. His research interests include Shock-Wave/Boundary-Layer Interactions and Flow Control & Jetacoustics, for which he has published several research articles in peer-reviewed international journals and conference proceedings. Dr. Kaushik has established an indigenously designed fully automated Supersonic Jet Research Laboratory at IIT Kharagpur to investigate jet characteristics. He is a member of numerous national and international professional societies. He has written three other textbooks for engineering students. He has also published a reference book.
