The origin of optical methods for fluid flow investigations appears
to be nontraceable. This is no matter for surprise. After all
seeing provides the most direct and common way for humans to learn
about their environment. But at the same time some of the most
sophisticated methods for doing measurements in fluids are also
based on light and often laser light. A very large amount of
material has been published in this area over the last two decades.
Why then another publication? Well, the field is still in a state
of rapid development. It is characterised by the use of results and
methods developed within very different areas like optical physics,
spectroscopy, communication systems, electronics and computer
science, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering and, of
course, fluid dynamics. We are not aware of a book containing both
introductory and more advanced material that covers the same
material as presented here. The book is the result of a compilation
and expansion of material presented at a summer school on Optical
Diagnosticsfor Flow Processes, held at RiS0 National Laboratory and
the Technical University of Denmark in September 1993. The aim of
the course was to provide a solid background for understanding,
evaluating, and using modem optical diagnostic methods, addressing
Ph. D. students and researchers active in areas of fluid flow
research. The disciplines represented by the participants ranged
from atmospheric fluid dynamics to biomedicine
