This course will serve as a virtual tour to many experimental facilities and techniques following the history of fluid dynamics research. Stories of several interesting debates will be told to show that iterations of experimental facilities based on the physics of fluid can lead to major new discoveries that brought a long-lasting impact on the entire field. The course will also focus on the unique opportunities and challenges in this decade thanks to the rapid advance of digital cameras, lasers, computed tomography, fluorescence imaging, as well as diagnostic tools based on X-ray, MRI, and gamma radiation. The course is designed for graduate students at all levels that are interested in fluid dynamics.
