Novel Experiments for the Investigation of Non-Ideal Compressible Fluid Dynamics: The ORCHID and First Results of Optical Measurements

The vast number of pioneering theoretical developments inthe area of non-classical gas dynamics together with the rising number ofapplications of organic Rankine cycle (ORC) technology have shaped a new branchof fluid mechanics called non-ideal compressible fluid dynamics (NICFD). Thisfield of fluid mechanics is concerned...
