COHERENT STRUCTURE IN CONTINOUS OVERBANK MEANDERING CHANNEL FLOW BY USING PIV MEASUREMENTS

PIV flow measurements for a rotating square smooth channel heated by basically uniform heat flux

PIV measurements of a microchannel flow

A particle image velocimetry (PIV) system has been developed to measure velocity fields with order 1-lm spatial resolution. The technique uses 200 nm diameter flow-tracing particles, a pulsed Nd: YAG laser, an inverted epi-fluorescent microscope, and a cooled interline-transfer CCD camera to record high-resolution particle-image fields. The spatial resolution of the PIV technique is limited pri...

PIV Measurements in Pumps

Digital Particle Imaging Velocimetry (DPIV) is a powerful nonintrusive measuring technique that has become popular in the last decade with the availability of commercial systems. In contrast to Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), which utilizes analogue imaging and therefore time-consuming post processing, for DPIV digital video recording is encountered which is ideally suited for digital data pr...

Piv Analysis of Turbulent Flow in a Micro-channel

Turbulent flow of water in a short 0.4mm high micro-channel of an emulsifier is investigated experimentally using a micro-PIV technique and compared with numerical predictions. The micro-flow measurements are based on epi-fluorescence illumination and high-speed imaging. Velocity fields obtained from the measurements and direct numerical simulations indicate that flow turbulization is delayed a...

PIV measurements of flow in and around scour holes

Two sets of experiments related to the scour of cohesionless sediment by planar turbulent jets are presented and discussed. The first set of experiments measures the growth of the scour hole and downstream dune as a function of time. Measurements reveal a bedform that is nearly self-similar and whose growth in time is governed by a power-law relationship. The bedform is well represented by thre...
