Abstract
Particle image velocimetry (PIV), also called particle image displacement velocimetry (PIDV), is a method of whole flow field velocimetry, which is currently causing a lot of interest. This methodrelies on the recording of particle positions in a section of the flow at a given instant in time. The measurement region may be defined by a thin laser sheet (a 2-D cross section of the flow) or by illumination of an entire volume (a complete 3-D flow field). At any rate, PIV is a method, which allows the measurement of an entire velocity distribution in a whole flow field at a specified point in time. The method thus allows spatially resolved velocity measurements.
