 What is Particle Image Velocimetry
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a non-intrusive laser optical measurement technique for research and diagnostics into flow, turbulence, microfluidics, spray atomisation and combustion processes.
Application areas for PIV include:
- Wind tunnel velocity experiments for testing aerodynamics of e.g. cars, train, aircrafts, buildings and other objects/structures.
- Velocity measurements in water flows (e.g. research in general hydrodynamics, ship hull design, rotating machinery, pipe flows, channel flow etc.).
- Spray research where there is a need to measure droplet velocities, cone angles, penetration length etc.
- Environmental research (combustion research, wave dynamics, coastal engineering, tidal modelling, river hydrology etc.).
- Experimental verification of CFD models
