This lesson covers the concept of dynamic measurements in fluid mechanics, focusing on the difference between static and dynamic measurements. It explains that static measurements are simpler and involve flow variables that are constant over time, while dynamic measurements are more complex and involve flow variables that change over time. The lesson also discusses the factors that must be considered in dynamic measurements, such as mass or inertia, stiffness or resistance, and damping or capacitance. It further delves into the mathematical modeling of dynamic measurements using a second-order ordinary differential equation. The lesson concludes with an example of how to interpret the amplitude ratio and frequency ratio in dynamic measurements.
