Abstract

The 36th European Mechanics Colloquium (EUROMECH 36) which was held at Imperial College from 17 to 19 April 1972 was the first to be devoted to laser anemometry. It brought together European researchers whose primary interests included physics, electronics and fluid mechanics with the following purposes.
