Flow visualization methods
Ďurdina, Lukáš ; Jedelský, Jan (referee) ; Lízal, František (advisor)
ĎURDINA, L. Flow visualization methods. Brno: Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, 2010. 45 p. Thesis supervisor Ing. František Lízal. This thesis deals with fluid flow visualization methods with respect to their practical application possibilities. Chronological description of the historically valuable visualization experiments emphasises the role of visualization in the experimental fluid mechanics. A brief characteristic of the flow field contains mathematical description of the objects, which can be visualized. Visualization methods are divided into experimental and computer aided methods. Individual methods are ordered subsequently beginning with those with lowest requirements for equipment to the more sophisticated methods. Various techniques, which provide qualitative and quantitative description of the tested gas or liquid flow, are described. The overview for the choice of methods for various applications sums up the important facts from previous chapters. Description of a simple helium bubble flow visualization experiment realized in a lab can be found at the end of the thesis.

A New Method for Vector Fields Dynamic Analysis
Uruba, Václav
A method for analysis of spatio-temporal data is proposed. This is based on combination of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and Principal Oscil-lation Patterns methods. The method provides dynamical characteristics of spatial modes evaluated either on both energetic or stability basis. Example on TR-PIV results on unsteady separation is shown.

Preliminary interferometry measurements of flow field around a fluttering NACA0015 profile
Vlček, Václav ; Kozánek, Jan
The paper presents experimental results of the optical measurements of flow field around a fluttering NACA0015 profile elastically supported with two degrees of freedom in subsonic wind flow. The high-speed camera was used for the interferometry visualization of the airflow in different phases of the profile motion. Special care was devoted to the plotting of the fringes near the surface of the profile, which was blurry due to the fast vibration. Examples of the interferograms, pressure and velocity development around the surface of the vibrating body and the phase shift between rotation and translation cycles are presented.
