The purpose of this Springer Handbook is to provide comprehensive support to the experimental fluid mechanics community, for planning, executing, and interpreting experiments. This purpose is addressed by organizing the handbook into four parts: Part A (Chaps. 1 and 2) addresses the motivation for experiments and the equations that build the foundations for experimental work; Part B (Chaps. 3–8) examines the measurement of, andmeasurement techniques used for, all primary quantities appearing explicitly in the governing equations; Part C (Chaps. 9–21) presents topics related to a specific application area or technique and; Part D (Chaps. 22–25) is meant to serve as a reference in questions regarding signal and data acquisition and processing.
