A method is proposed that allows threedimensional (3D) two-component measurements to be made by means of particle image velocimetry (PIV) in any volume illuminated over a finite thickness. The method is based on decomposing the cross-correlation function into various contributions at different depths. Because the technique is based on 3D decomposition of the correlation function and not reconst...

the proper and quantitative recognition of the scale of turbulence in regard to issues such as sediment transport is of major importance. different experimental techniques can be used to determining the scale of turbulence, but the accuracy of these techniques is open to question. in this paper, after a review of the taylor method, the restrictions and advantages of velocity measurement techniq...

The wavelet-based vector multiresolution technique was proposed and applied to the post-processing of PIV results for identifying the multi-scale turbulent structures. By analyzing the instantaneous streamlines and vorticity fields of various scales the important information on the multi-scale flow structures was obtained. The large-scale vortices or coherent structures with a central scale of ...

The wavelet-based vector multiresolution technique was applied to the postprocessing of PIV results for identifying the multiscale turbulent structures of a lobed jet. By analyzing the instantaneous streamlines and vorticity fields of various scales, we obtained important information on the multiscale flow structures. The large-scale vortices or coherent structures with a central scale of a = 1...

We present a holographic PIV system which extends the standard PIV analysis scheme of two velocity components (2D2C) to the third dimension and overcomes the disturbing background light in deep volume images reconstructed from particle holograms. In a light-in-flight holography (LiFH) setup the short coherence length of a modified laser source is used to suppress light from out-of-focus regions...

High Performance Computing (HPC) applications are mapped to a cluster of multi-core processors communicating using high speed interconnects. More computational power is harnessed with the addition of hardware accelerators such as Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) cards and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is an embarrassingly parallel application that can be...
