Laser metrology in fluid mechanics: granulometry, temperature and concentration measurements

In fluid mechanics, non-intrusive measurements are fundamental in order to improve knowledge of the behavior and main physical phenomena of flows in order to further validate codes.<br />The principles and characteristics of the different techniques available in laser metrology are described in detail in this book.<br />Velocity, temperature and concentration measurements by spectroscopic techniques based on light scattered by molecules are achieved by different techniques: laser-induced fluorescence, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering using lasers and parametric sources, and absorption sp
