Tomographic PIV - Applications and Results

Experiments in Water

time resolved cylinder wake
at 9.8 Hz with 650 000 vectors per time step


Experimental setup with the indication of the measurement volume behind the cylinder (flow from left to right).

             Movie of temporal development of
             vortical structures. Iso-vorticity
             surfaces are color-coded.

flow above cylinder stub


Experimental setup showing the dimensions of the cylinder stub and the volume of the measurement.

                     Example of a result with very high
                     spatial resolution of the vectors
                     inside the volume.
