Objective and Contents of the Course

Course Objectives: To provide a solid understanding on principles of measurement techniques.
-To gain an accurate understanding of experimental techniques utilised in naval architecture by addressing model tests, full scale trials and similar laboratory tests related with fluid dynamics and ship hydrodynamics.
-To provide the ability to establish an experimental setup from scratch.
-To practice on technical report writing on their experimental findings.
Course Content: This is a detailed course starts with commonly used measurement techniques such as length, velocity, acceleration, flow, strain, and temperature measurements. Then the course gives essential knowledge on measurement chain and its elements. The course also provides detailed information on data acquisition, signal processing and post process of the data by utilising experimental analysis methods. Experimental set up creation will be addressed, and state of the art experiment methods will be given particularly on measurements of naval architecture applications. Knowledge gained throughout the lectures will be practiced by performing laboratory studies and hands on exercises.

Learning Outcomes
