UDC 535.36

A brief description of the main methods used for diagnostics 
of rapidly proceeding processes in fluid and plasma mechanics is presented. 
In this description prominence is given to the optical methods of 
diagnostics and new techniques based on the use of digital laser technologies 
and statistical methods of measurement-data processing. Examples of 
application of the indicated methods and techniques, demonstrating 
their potentialities, are given.
