Developments in Laser Techniques and Applications to Fluid Mechanics

The main emphasis of the papers in this volume is on applications of laser techniques to scientific and engineering fluid flow research. Attention is focused on areas such as laser-Doppler anemometry, particle sizing, and scalars such as particle image velocimetry and laser induced fluorescence.

This volume comprises a selection of the best papers presented at the 7th International Symposium on Applications of Laser Techniques to Fluid Mechanics, held in Lisbon in July 1994. The prime objective of the conference was to provide a forum for the presentation of the most advanced research and significant results. Main emphasis was on applications of laser techniques to scientific and engineering fluid flow research, but contributions to the theory and practice of laser methods were also considered where they facilitate improved fluid mechanic research. Attention was placed on laser-Doppler anemometry, particle sizing and other methods for the measurements of velocity, and scalars such as particle image velocimetry and laser induced fluorescence.
