Optical Techniques for Fluid Flow

In flow studies of liquids and gases, the velocity, pressure, density and temperature of the moving fluid can be obtained through the use of schlieren, shadowgraph and interferometer techniques. A basic optical and photographic description is given of the three systems, and a fundamental application comparison is made.
