HIGH SPEED ALGORITHM OF 2D AND 3D PARTICLE TRACKING VELOCIMETRY BASED ON BINARY CORRELATION METHOD

Abstract

The techniques of particle tracking velocimetry (PTV), also referred to as particle imaging velocimetry (PIV), have advanced quickly because they have the following merits: (1) instantaneous whole flow field measurement, (2) contact-free measurement, (3) easy extraction and processing of physical information through velocity information. Some reviews on PIV describe the principles and applications of many types of PIV, which are applicable slow flows to supersonic flows.
