Flow visualization is a very valuable experimental tool in fluid mechanics research. The corresponding techniques are introduced and special emphasis is given to the analysis of quantum flows. The course is suitable for students familiar with fluid mechanics, e.g., those who attended NFPL174, Základy mechaniky tekutin a turbulence.

Syllabus
Last update: doc. Dr. Marco La Mantia, Ph.D. (09.10.2017)

Introduction to fluid motions

Qualitative flow visualization techniques, e.g., those that employ rheoscopic fluids

Quantitative flow visualization techniques, such as particle image velocimetry and particle tracking velocimetry (in both techniques small particles are suspended in the fluid and employed to trace its motion); corresponding particle dynamics

Introduction to quantum flows, with special emphasis given to quantized vortex dynamics and thermal counterflow

Cryogenic flow visualization techniques, especially those that employ micrometer-sized solid hydrogen particles and metastable helium molecules
