Particle Image Velocimetry in practice

open access: yes, 2009
Experimental fluid mechanics has for a long time been used to visualize flow phenomenon. An early pioneer was Ludwig Prandtl who used aluminum particles in water flumes to describe the flow in a qualitative manner. In line with the rapid development of Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD, the need for new validation tools has increased.

Refractive-index and density matching in concentrated particle suspensions: a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Optical measurement techniques such as particle image velocimetry (PIV) and laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) are now routinely used in experimental fluid mechanics to investigate pure fluids or dilute suspensions.

Global Hydroclimatic Controls on Multithread River Dynamics

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Most large rivers in densely populated areas split flow into multiple channels, forming interconnected pathways called threads. Multithread rivers are sensitive to hydroclimatic changes, yet understanding their dynamics is challenging due to the lack of robust metrics to characterize their evolution.

Imaging Velocimetry Measurements for Entropy Production in a Rotational Magnetic Stirring Tank and Parallel Channel Flow

open access: yesEntropy, 2009
An experimental design is presented for an optical method of measuring spatial variations of flow irreversibilities in laminar viscous fluid motion. Pulsed laser measurements of fluid velocity with PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) are post-processed to ...

Large Wood Retention in Forested River Corridors During Overbank Flood Events: Insights From Flume Experiments

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Understanding large wood (LW) dynamics on floodplains is important for closing wood budgets and predicting hazards associated with LW. We conducted 38 experiments in a fixed‐bed flume to examine how forest stand density (FSD), wood transport regime, and overbank flood magnitude affect floodplain LW retention.

Rotor-Obstacle Aerodynamic Interaction in Hovering Flight: An Experimental Survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Despite the presence of a fair number of numerical and experimental works on the rotor-obstacle interaction, a systematic study of the aerodynamic phenomena involved is lacking.

Peak-locking reduction for particle image velocimetry

open access: yes, 2016
A parametric study of the factors contributing to peak-locking, a known bias error source in particle image velocimetry (PIV), is conducted using synthetic data that are processed with a state-of-the-art PIV algorithm. The investigated parameters include:

A Mechanism of Polymer Induced Drag Reduction in Turbulent Pipe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Polymer induced drag reduction in turbulent pipe flow was investigated using a non-intrusive laser based diagnostic technique, namely Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV).

Silicone-Based Molding Technique for Optical Flow Analysis in Transparent Models of Fluidic Components

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
Optical flow analysis methods such as particle image velocimetry can only be performed in fluid systems or components with optical access. Many fluidic components, such as metallic tubes, do not typically feature optical accessibility.
