Stereo Thermal Marking Velocimetry

چکیده
This paper presents a novel approach to measuring and mapping shape and motion of the water surface. The approach combines and borrows from existing techniques, such as stereo imaging shape recognition and tracking, infrared (IR) laser marking and thermography, and particle image velocimetry. The system consists of a high power IR laser beam controlled by a programmable marking head and two IR cameras tracking the thermal pattern projected by the beam onto the water surface. The paper provides detailed description of the setup, discusses the choice of the thermal pattern, and describes the IR image processing algorithm. An example of resolved surface shape and velocity maps is given for an experiment conducted in a laboratory wave tank.

3D Particle Tracking Velocimetry using a Stereo Camera Setup
In this thesis, we describe an approach for measuring fluid flows by means of particle tracking velocimetry with a stereo camera system. Building upon an existing hardware setup, originally used for 2D velocimetry, we developed a new system for depth recovery and interactive visualization of particle trajectories, in cooperation with our industry partner Airbus Deutschland GmbH. The application...
متن کاملQuantification of uncertainty in a stereoscopic particle image velocimetry measurement
In Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (Stereo-PIV), the three velocity components are obtained by illuminating a planar region in the fl ow fi eld and recording the region of interest using two cameras at an angle. Calibration, planar velocity estimation, and velocity reconstruction are the three essential steps involved in the process. Earlier efforts to quantify the accuracy in a Stereo-...

In investigations of laminar or turbulent flows, wall shear is often important. Nevertheless, conventional particle image velocimetry (PIV) is difficult in near-wall regions. A near-wall measurement technique, named interfacial PIV (IPIV) [Nguyen, C., Nguyen, T., Wells, J., Nakayama, A., 2008. Proposals for PIV of near-wall flow over curved boundaries.

متن کاملSimultaneous Velocimetry and Thermometry of Air Using Nonresonant Heterodyned Laser-induced Thermal Acoustics
Non-resonant laser-induced thermal acoustics (LITA) is employed with heterodyne detection to measure temperature (285-295 K) and a single component of velocity (20-150 m/s) in an atmospheric pressure, subsonic, unseeded air jet. Good agreement is found with pitot-tube measurements of velocity (0.2% at 150 m/s and 2% at 20 m/s) and the isentropic expansion model for temperature (0.3%). Key words...

Stereo Imaging Velocimetry (SIV) is a NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) developed fluid physics technique for measuring three-dimensional velocities in any optically transparent fluid that can be seeded with tracer particles. SIV provides a means to measure three-dimensional fluid velocities quantitatively and qualitatively at many points. This technique provides full-field 3–D analysis of any o...
