 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 atomization and combustion processes. Related techniques for measurements of flow fields are Particle Tracking Velocimetry, Feature Tracking and Feature PIV.
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
