Introduction

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a setof methods where the velocity of theflow is determined by investigatingmotion of a large number of particlesfollowing the flow
In PIV, the velocity is directly calculatedfrom the displacement of the flowelement at given time
• Advantage when compared toother experimental methods, suchas Laser Doppler Anomometry orhot wires, where intermediatephenomena is measured forvelocity calculation
Introduction
8.5.2012 4Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
With PIV:
• Velocity vectors from relatively large area of a flow can be measuredintantaniously
• Visualization of the flow field
Closely related to Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV)
• Flow field determined by following a individual particles
Basic planar PIV
8.5.2012 5Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
Operation principle of planar PIV:
• Tracer particles seeded to the flow
• Part of the flow that is under investigation is illuminated with light source (for example laser)
• Two successive images taken form the light sheet
• Flow velocity determined form the movement of particles at the light sheet using some correlation method Picture: Raffel, Willert, Komphans: PIV, a practical Guide
Illumination
8.5.2012 6Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
Typically, illumination in PIV handled with double-pulsedlaser
• Solid state lasers (like Nd:YAG) commonly used
• With frequency doubling crystal, wavelength 532 nm
• Two lasers for two illuminations
Light sheet optics used to form a laser sheet from thepulse
Illumination
8.5.2012 7Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
Q-switch is used to produce a high energy (10-1000 mJ) laser pulse
When flash lamp is enabled, Pockels cell is OFF and light emitted from the Nd:YAG rod due to spontanious emissions is reflected by the Glan-laser polarizer
After the exitation of laser rod is completed, Q-switch is enabled -> Pockels cell ON -> light passes through the polarizer and cause stimulated emissions in the laser rod -> high energy light pulse (5-10 ns)

Illumination

Laser pulse energy can be controlled with
• Q-switch delay time: shorter delay -> lower energy
• Flash lamp voltage: lower voltage -> lower laser pulse energy

Illumination

Camera
8.5.2012 11Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
Camera records the particle image to a video chip
• Charge-Coupled Device (CCD), electric charge heldin electron storage wells
• Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor(CMOS), arrays convert light into electrical signal
Modern PIV camera has 1-22 million pixels
Particle image diameter > 5 pixels
• Smaller particle image can cause pixel locking,where particle displacement cannot be accuratelydetermined
Particles
8.5.2012 12Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
Seed particles must be small enough to follow the flow with good accuracy
• 1 µm diameter particles for gas flows
• 10 µm diameter particles for liquid flows
On the other hand, particles should have good light scattering abilities
Mono-disperse particles
Particles

For gas flows, also liquid droplets, such as oils (olive oil, DEHS etc.) can be used

Image displacement
8.5.2012 14Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
Light intensity of image plane with multiple particle images:
For image displacement calculation, the image is divided into interrogation spot (for example, one image contains 128 x 128 or 64 x 64 square interrogation spots)
• If the image density (related to the number of particles inside an interrogation spot) is low -> PTV
• High image density -> PIV
Image displacement
8.5.2012 15Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
If the image density is high the displacement of interrogation spot must bedetermined using some correlation method
Two different ways to obtain image displacement with high image density
1. Single-pulsed, double-frame where successive pictures are saved into twoframes
2. Single-frame, double-pulsed -> pictures into a single frame
• Image displacement with cross-correlation
• Image displacement with auto-correlation
Image displacement
8.5.2012 16Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
Cross-correlation
Auto-correlation
With cross-correlation, only one displacement peak
Auto-correlation produces to mirror displacement peaks -> direction of image displacement must be known

Improved velocity calculations and Post processing
8.5.2012 18Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
Besides individual square interrogation windows
• Overlapping windows
• Rectangular shape (128 x 64 pixels …)
Advanced interrogation methods
• Multipass: multiple image displacement calculations. Velocity obtained from the first pass used to offset the second image for successive passes
• Multigrid: same as multipass, but second pass done with smaller interrogation window (first pass: 128 x 128 window, second pass 64 x 64 window, etc.)
• Reduces in-plane particle displacements
Improved velocity calculations and Post processing
8.5.2012 19Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
After a measurement, obtained velocity field contains invalid vectors
• Produced by correlation peaks that do not represent the vector displacement
• Noise level too high or problem with the images (glaring wall, etc.)
• Invalid vectors can be taken out using a post processing methods, such as median filters where each vectors is compared to its neighbors median value -> vector is removed if difference too large
Out-of-plane (vector moved away form the 2nd image to z direction) and in-plane (vector moved away form the 2nd image to x or y direction) particle displacement can cause invalid vectors
The amount of invalid vectors in PIV image < 10 %

Stereographic PIV
8.5.2012 21Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
With stereographic PIV (SPIV), all components of a velocity vector in a planar domain can be measured
By comparing the image displacement measurement of two cameras, out of plane velocity can be calculated
Picture: Adrian, Westerweel: Particle Image velocimetry
Tomographic PIV
8.5.2012 22Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
Tomographic PIV can be used to measure 3-D velocity of a volume of fluid
In principle, tomographic PIV operational with two cameras
However, more cameras are recommended, typical setup has 4
Picture: Adrian, Westerweel: Particle Image velocimetry
Tomographic PIV
8.5.2012 23Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
Position of particles in a measurement volume at a given time t determined by comparing the images of all cameras
After the two illuminations, the particle displacement is calculated using a 3-D correlation procedure, closely related to one used in planar 2-D PIV discussed earlier

Micro-PIV
8.5.2012 25Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
Used to measure small scale flows
High image magnification
Fluerescent particles with camera filter used toprevent overexposure
Low image density -> particle tracking needs tobe used
Small tracer particles effected by Brownianmotion-> particle track won’t represent flowaccurately
Correlation average where the mean velocity isobtained from a large number of PIV images(accurate result since Re is small) Picture: Adrian, Westerweel: Particle Image velocimetry
Summary
8.5.2012 26Kul-34.4551 Postgraduate Seminar on Fluid Mechanics
Particle image velocimetry used to measure velocity field of liquid orgas flow
Basic PIV system can measure two planar velocity components of aflow, with more advanced measurement setup also the out of planevelocity component can be measured
Laser is used to illuminate the measurement are of the flow
Two successive images of the flow are taken and the displacement ofparticle images are calculated using auto or cross-correlation
After the velocity calculation, invalid vectors are removed usingproper post processing tools
With more advanced PIV setups, velocity field on a volume or smallscale flow field can be measured using tomographic PIV or micro-PIV,respectively
