Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV)

 

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
