Dual wavelength digital holography for 3D particle image velocimetry

Holography and particle image velocimetry

The contribution of holographic techniques to particle velocity measurements is discussed. Two-dimensional holographic particle image velocimetry and three-dimensional holographic velocimetry are described and compared. Their advantages and limits are discussed and the latest progress in this domain is presented, together with perspectives for the near future.

Digital Holography Based Particle Tracking Velocimetry

Digital holography appears to be the next-generation technology for holographic diagnostics of particle fields and has been applied to holographic particle tracking flow measurements. In the digital holography, the Fresnel or Fourier holograms are recorded directly by the CCD or CMOS cameras and stored digitally. No film material involving wet-chemical or other processing is necessary as in opt...

On errors of digital particle image velocimetry

The goal of the present study is to quantify and reduce, when possible, errors in two-dimensional digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV). Two major errors, namely the mean bias and root-mean-square (RMS) errors, have been studied. One fundamental source of these errors arises from the implementation of cross correlation (CC). Other major sources of these errors arise from the peak-finding sc...

Multiple CCD Array Digital Particle Image Velocimetry

Digital image processing is a technologically limited subject, and has seen tremendous growth over the last ten years with the exponential increase in computing power commonly available. This trend can be seen in Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) as the migration from traditional wet film cameras to fully digital systems. The use of digital cameras in PJV measurements has been common place for a...
