Particle Image Velocimetry: A Practical Guide

The development of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), a measurement technique, which allows for capturing velocity information of whole flow fields in fractions of a second, has begun in the eighties of the last century. In 1998, when this book has been published firstly, the PIV technique emerged from laboratories to applications in fundamental and industrial research, in par- lel to the transition from photo-graphicalto video recording techniques. Thus this book, whose objective was and is...
