Abstract
Due to the recent technical development, digital PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) has become a widespread tool for overall flowfield measurements. PIV is often used in industrial applications as a simultaneous measurement and visualization technique, while basic research is still focussed on investigating the capabilities and limitations of the technique as such, see [1]. Although the digital technique can not compete with photographic film when it comes to spatial resolution, the present study shows that accurate near wall measurements can also be obtained with digital PIV, provided the image size is small enough and sufficient care is taken to eliminate optical disturbances. This is also the first time that PIV-measurements have been made in a boundary layer at high Reynolds numbers with a sufficiently large data set to form a statistically safe average.
