Fluid physics instrumentation study: final report: part I: system aspects

A somewhat abstract discussion of measurement processes is used to construct a table wherein various techniques for fluid physics diagnosis are collected. The usefulness of each technique for certain types of measurement problems in microgravity fluid physics is assessed. Detailed discussions of applicable techniques are collected in Appendices....
