Description:

This course introduces students to the basics of advanced optical flow diagnostics concepts, principles, and techniques. A range of available techniques will be reviewed, with the primary focus on the state-of-the-art Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV).  The course will be delivered through lectures, topic research and reviews, and hands-on experiments
