Custom-produced fluorescent particles are presented and their use as tracers for particle image velocimetry is evaluated.
The fabrication procedure is explained and the main properties of the particles are described. The advantages of using fluorescent
particles over nonfluorescent ones are discussed, in particular, for applications involving large facilities, as those used
in hydraulic research. Images using the produced particles are also shown.

Stereoscopic particle image velocimetry 总被引:25,自引:19,他引:6

Stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (PIV) employs two cameras to record simultaneous but distinct off-axis views of the
same region of interest (illuminated plane within a flow seeded with tracer particles). Sufficient information is contained
in the two views to extract the out-of-plane motion of particles, and also to eliminate perspective error which can contaminate
the in-plane measurement. This review discusses the principle of stereoscopic PIV, the different stereoscopic configurations
that have been used, the relative error in the out-of-plane to the in-plane measurement, and the relative merits of calibration-based
methods for reconstructing the three-dimensional displacement vector in comparison to geometric reconstruction. It appears
that the current trend amongst practitioners of stereoscopic PIV is to use digital cameras to record the two views in the
angular displacement configuration while incorporating the Scheimpflug condition. The use of calibration methods has also
gained prominence over geometric reconstruction.

Tomographic particle image velocimetry 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
This paper describes the principles of a novel 3D PIV system based on the illumination, recording and reconstruction of tracer particles within a 3D measurement volume. The technique makes use of several simultaneous views of the illuminated particles and their 3D reconstruction as a light intensity distribution by means of optical tomography. The technique is therefore referred to as tomographic particle image velocimetry (tomographic-PIV). The reconstruction is performed with the MART algorithm, yielding a 3D array of light intensity discretized over voxels. The reconstructed tomogram pair is then analyzed by means of 3D cross-correlation with an iterative multigrid volume deformation technique, returning the three-component velocity vector distribution over the measurement volume. The principles and details of the tomographic algorithm are discussed and a parametric study is carried out by means of a computer-simulated tomographic-PIV procedure. The study focuses on the accuracy of the light intensity field reconstruction process. The simulation also identifies the most important parameters governing the experimental method and the tomographic algorithm parameters, showing their effect on the reconstruction accuracy. A computer simulated experiment of a 3D particle motion field describing a vortex ring demonstrates the capability and potential of the proposed system with four cameras. The capability of the technique in real experimental conditions is assessed with the measurement of the turbulent flow in the near wake of a circular cylinder at Reynolds 2,700. 相似文献

Digital particle image velocimetry 总被引:51,自引:13,他引:51
Digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) is the digital counterpart of conventional laser speckle velocitmetry (LSV) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) techniques. In this novel, two-dimensional technique, digitally recorded video images are analyzed computationally, removing both the photographic and opto-mechanical processing steps inherent to PIV and LSV. The directional ambiguity generally associated with PIV and LSV is resolved by implementing local spatial cross-correlations between two sequential single-exposed particle images. The images are recorded at video rate (30 Hz or slower) which currently limits the application of the technique to low speed flows until digital, high resolution video systems with higher framing rates become more economically feasible. Sequential imaging makes it possible to study unsteady phenomena like the temporal evolution of a vortex ring described in this paper. The spatial velocity measurements are compared with data obtained by direct measurement of the separation of individual particle pairs. Recovered velocity data are used to compute the spatial and temporal vorticity distribution and the circulation of the vortex ring. 相似文献

Stereoscopic micro particle image velocimetry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A stereoscopic micro-PIV (stereo-μPIV) system for the simultaneous measurement of all three components of the velocity vector in a measurement plane (2D–3C) in a closed microchannel has been developed and first test measurements were performed on the 3D laminar flow in a T-shaped micromixer. Stereomicroscopy is used to capture PIV images of the flow in a microchannel from two different angles. Stereoscopic viewing is achieved by the use of a large diameter stereo objective lens with two off-axis beam paths. Additional floating lenses in the beam paths in the microscope body allow a magnification up to 23×. The stereo-PIV images are captured simultaneously by two CCD cameras. Due to the very small confinement, a standard calibration procedure for the stereoscopic imaging by means of a calibration target is not feasible, and therefore stereo-μPIV measurements in closed microchannels require a calibration based on the self-calibration of the tracer particle images. In order to include the effects of different refractive indices (of the fluid in the microchannel, the entrance window and the surrounding air) a three-media-model is included in the triangulation procedure of the self-calibration. Test measurement in both an aligned and a tilted channel serve as an accuracy assessment of the proposed method. This shows that the stereo-μPIV results have an RMS error of less than 10% of the expected value of the in-plane velocity component. First measurements in the mixing region of a T-shaped micromixer at Re = 120 show that 3D flow in a microchannel with dimensions of 800 × 200 μm2 can be measured with a spatial resolution of 44 × 44 × 15 μm3. The stationary flow in the 200 μm deep channel was scanned in multiple planes at 22 μm separation, providing a full 3D measurement of the averaged velocity distribution in the mixing region of the T-mixer. A limitation is that this approach requires a stereo-objective that typically has a low NA (0.14–0.28) and large depth-of-focus as opposed to high NA lenses (up to 0.95 without immersion) for standard μPIV. 相似文献

The technical aspects of a photographic stereo camera for three-dimensional particle image velocimetry are described herein.
The hybrid concept of the camera combines advantages of the angular displacement and the translation method. The camera uses
two CCD sensors in order to adjust the lens distances and angles to meet the Scheimpflug criterion and two coupled rotating
mirrors for image shifting. An application to a jet flow with an exit velocity of 33 m/s demonstrates the succesfull optimization
of the recording process.

Second-order accurate particle image velocimetry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An adaptive, second-order accurate particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique is presented. The technique uses two singly
exposed images that are interrogated using a modified cross-correlation algorithm. Consequently, any of the equipment commonly
available for conventional PIV (such as dual head Nd: YAG lasers, interline transfer CCD cameras, etc.) can be used with this
more accurate algorithm. At the heart of the algorithm is a central difference approximation to the flow velocity (accurate
to order Δt
2) versus the forward difference approximation (accurate to order Δt) common in PIV. An adaptive interrogation region-shifting algorithm is used to implement the central difference approximation.
Adaptive shifting algorithms have been gaining popularity in recent years because they allow the spatial resolution of the
PIV technique to be maximized. Adaptive shifting algorithms also have the virtue of helping to eliminate velocity bias errors.
The second- order accuracy resulting from the central difference approximation can be obtained with relatively little additional
computational effort compared to that required for a standard first-order accurate forward difference approximation.
The adaptive central difference interrogation (CDI) algorithm has two main advantages over adaptive forward difference interrogation
(FDI) algorithms: it is more accurate, especially at large time delays between camera exposures; and it provides a temporally
symmetric view of the flow. By comparing measurements of flow around a single red blood cell made using both algorithms, the
CDI technique is shown to perform better than conventional FDI-PIV interrogation algorithms near flow boundaries. Cylindrical
Taylor–Couette flow images, both experimental and simulated, are used to demonstrate that the CDI algorithm is significantly
more accurate than conventional PIV algorithms, especially as the time delay between exposures is increased. The results of
the interrogations are shown to agree quite well with analytical predictions and confirm that the CDI algorithm is indeed
second-order accurate while the conventional FDI algorithm is only first-order accurate.

A first-order accurate method of extending the capability of image velocimetry to interfaces is presented. In this method,
the image fields are locally extended across interfaces using fields from the other image of an image pair. During this image
parity exchange, the extension of the image fields amounts to locally reversing and reflecting the relative velocity field
across the interface. Numerous experimental examples are given to demonstrate and validate the accuracy of the method. These
are the plane Couette flow and the laminar pipe flow demonstrating straight rigid boundaries; uniform flow past a sphere and
a sphere moving in a stagnant fluid demonstrating curved rigid surfaces; and a free-surface flow and a liquid–liquid interface
flow demonstrating compliant interfaces.

High-precision sub-pixel interpolation in particle image velocimetry image processing 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The task of image interpolation and re-sampling for particle image velocimetry (PIV) is investigated, which is used for window shifting with sub-pixel accuracy and image or window deformation. A new interpolation scheme based on a Gaussian filter is introduced and compared with commonly used and widely accepted interpolation techniques in terms of the achievable root mean square deviation of the displacement estimates. 相似文献

Optimal subpixel interpolation in particle image velocimetry 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
It is shown that among the different techniques for particle image velocimetry subpixel interpolation, only the "sinc"-kernel creates an optimal result in that it completely suppresses spurious spectral sidelobes. An efficient method is introduced for the computation of the subpixel-accurate correlation peak position without any systematic errors. A connection is made with the kernel-dependent observation of the peak-locking phenomenon. 相似文献

The accuracy of the particle image velocimetry technique was investigated using synthetic images having known characteristics. Algorithms were developed to extract two-dimensional velocity information by tracking particles between successive frames of a movie automatically without operator assistance. This allowed to parametrically investigate the influence of the various parameters (image contrast, image noise, particle density, distribution of sizes of particles and particle displacement between frames) on the accuracy of the technique. It was found that as long as the images have a good contrast, particle locations can be determined with sub-pixel accuracy and particle velocities can be determined within a few percent. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to show that the measurement of turbulent spectrum using wholefield velocity techniques such
as particle image velocimetry (PIV) is possible. Toward this end, data from the axial plane of a self-similar turbulent axisymmetric
jet, at a Reynolds number, based on Taylor microscale of 30 has been analyzed. The two-dimensional velocity data are first
high-pass filtered, which educes the vortices. An automated method is then used to identify the vortices and measure their
properties. By directly measuring the energy of the vortices, it is possible to plot the turbulence spectrum. The spectrum
presented here shows the presence of energy containing and inertial regimes. However, the smallest scales have not been resolved
in the measurements. The slope of the spectrum in the inertial subrange is about −1.6. The number of vortices in the two regimes
have also been measured. The number of vortices in the energy containing regime is substantially smaller than those in the
inertial subrange. The technique has been verified by analyzing another dataset. These results show that the direct measurement
of vortex properties with reasonable confidence is possible using PIV and an appropriate vortex eduction technique. 相似文献

Quantum Nanospheres™ (QNs) have been developed as a new type of flow-tracing particle for micron resolution particle image
velocimetry (PIV). The 70 nm diameter QNs were created by conjugating quantum dots to polystyrene beads. The fluorescent QNs
have a large Stokes’ shift and are impervious to photobleaching. The use of QNs as flow-tracing particles for micro-PIV was
demonstrated by measuring fluid motion in a 30 × 300 μm channel. Using an interrogation region of 1 × 1,024 pixels and ensemble
averaging 1,800 image pairs, the physical volume of the interrogation region was 117 μm × 117 μm × 2 μm. 相似文献

Real-time image processing for particle tracking velocimetry 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
We present a novel high-speed particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) experimental system. Its novelty is due to the FPGA-based,
real-time image processing “on camera”. Instead of an image, the camera transfers to the computer using a network card, only
the relevant information of the identified flow tracers. Therefore, the system is ideal for the remote particle tracking systems
in research and industrial applications, while the camera can be controlled and data can be transferred over any high-bandwidth
network. We present the hardware and the open source software aspects of the PTV experiments. The tracking results of the
new experimental system has been compared to the flow visualization and particle image velocimetry measurements. The canonical
flow in the central cross section of a a cubic cavity (1:1:1 aspect ratio) in our lid-driven cavity apparatus is used for
validation purposes. The downstream secondary eddy (DSE) is the sensitive portion of this flow and its size was measured with
increasing Reynolds number (via increasing belt velocity). The size of DSE estimated from the flow visualization, PIV and
compressed PTV is shown to agree within the experimental uncertainty of the methods applied. 相似文献

New tracking algorithm for particle image velocimetry 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The cross correlation tracking technique is widely used to analyze image data, in Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The technique assumes that the fluid motion, within small regions of the flow field, is parallel over short time intervals. However, actual flow fields may have some distorted motion, such as rotation, shear and expansion. Therefore, if the distortion of the flow field is not negligible, the fluid motion can not be tracked well using the cross correlation technique. In this study, a new algorithm for particle tracking, called the Spring Model technique, has been proposed. The algorithm can be applied to flow fields which exhibit characteristics such as rotation, shear and expansion.The algorithm is based on pattern matching of particle clusters between the first and second image. A particle cluster is composed of particles which are assumed to be connected by invisible elastic springs. Depending on the deformation of the cluster pattern (i.e., the particle positions), the invisible springs have some forces. The smallest force pattern in the second image is the most probable pattern match to the correspondent original pattern in the first image. Therefore, by finding the best matches, particle movements can be tracked between the two images. Three-dimensional flow fields can also be reconstructed with this technique.The effectiveness of the Spring Model technique was verified with synthetic data from both a two-dimensional flow and three-dimensional flow. It showed a high degree of accuracy, even for the three-dimensional calculation. The experimental data from a vortex flow field in a cylinder wake was also measured by the Spring model technique. 相似文献

A particle image velocimetry system for microfluidics 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20

A micron-resolution particle image velocimetry (micro-PIV) system has been developed to measure instantaneous and ensemble-averaged
flow fields in micron-scale fluidic devices. The system utilizes an epifluorescent microscope, 100–300 nm diameter seed particles,
and an intensified CCD camera to record high-resolution particle-image fields. Velocity vector fields can be measured with
spatial resolutions down to 6.9×6.9×1.5 μm. The vector fields are analyzed using a double-frame cross-correlation algorithm.
In this technique, the spatial resolution and the accuracy of the velocity measurements is limited by the diffraction limit
of the recording optics, noise in the particle image field, and the interaction of the fluid with the finite-sized seed particles.
The stochastic influence of Brownian motion plays a significant role in the accuracy of instantaneous velocity measurements.
The micro-PIV technique is applied to measure velocities in a Hele–Shaw flow around a 30 μm (major diameter) elliptical cylinder,
with a bulk velocity of approximately 50 μm s-1.

An explicit solution of two-dimensional Gaussian regression for the estimation of particle displacement from the correlation function in particle image velocimetry (PIV) or particle position from the images in particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) with sub-pixel accuracy is introduced. The accuracy and the ability of the methods to avoid pixel locking due to non-axially orientated, elliptically shaped particle images or correlation peaks are investigated using simulated and experimentally obtained images. 相似文献
