Measurement, Exploitation and Method Finalization of PIV Systems

Other than in aerodynamic laboratories that primarily deal with aircraft tests, PIV visualization methods can be successfully used to test currents in various technical systems (pipes of different geometries and dimensions), biological systems, flows around buildings, bridges, overpasses, towers, currents around means of transport, trains, cars, ships, for testing fluids of different properties. Modern development of computer technology and digital image processing enable automatic analysis of the effects of current visualization and obtaining qualitative and quantitative values of flow parameters, which cannot be obtained by classical, conventional measurement techniques.
