•Wind Tunnel design, calibration and instrumentation
•Water Tunnel and visualization
•Boundary layer theory and measurement
•Aerodynamics of airfoils such as lift and drag measurement
•Airfoil enhancement by use of aerodynamics devices such as vortex generators
• Design and analyses of experiments, e.g. data acquisition, experimental uncertainty and measurement error

• Ability to design an experiment in fluid mechanic
• Ability to analyze collected data from an experiment
Learning objectives - Competences
• Planning and conducting experiments in fluid mechanic
• Document the result from laboratory experiments in a report
Content
This course introduces methods and techniques for measurement and data analysis in experimental fluid mechanics. Students will learn to conduct aerodynamics performance test of airfoil in both wind tunnel and water tunnel. . The obtained knowledge will be applied in a design process for aerodynamic devices forwind turbine blades. Performance test for add-ons (e.g. vortex generators) to change the flow separation on the blades will be examined. The potential increase in efficiency will be evaluated with reference to a clean airfoil.

Teaching Method
The Faculty of Engineering has adopted a student-centered approach to learning, and teaching is based on problem-based project work. Students participate significantly in class and carry out project work in small teams. The experimental work, data analysis and reporting will be done in teams. The course is a combination of theory lectures, experiments, data analysis and laboratory report.
Time of classes: Two weeks in August
