PIV recording techniques

  • Chapter
Book cover Particle Image Velocimetry

Part of the book series: Experimental Fluid Mechanics ((FLUID))

Abstract

In this chapter different approaches to PIV recording are introduced. It is important to realize that the various recording methods are not necessarily defined by the recording medium. The same approach may for instance be applied using either photography or digital recording. The PIV recording modes can be separated into two main branches: (1) methods which capture the illuminated flow on to a single frame and (2) methods which provide a single illuminated image for each illumination pulse. These branches are referred to as single frame/multi-exposure PIV and multi-frame/single exposure PIV, respectively [28].
