In μPIV, for a uniform velocity field the displacement of the cross-correlation function gives the velocity of the fluid and the broadening of the peak-width represents the amount of Brownian motion present. In the presence of a linear or a parabolic shear, the shape of the cross-correlation function would have both the Brownian motion information as well as the velocity distribution information. In the present work, the broadening of the cross-correlation function caused by the velocity gradient was subtracted from the total peak broadening in order to isolate the Brownian motion information and thus infer temperature. To the authors' knowledge, this technique has not been applied to measure the temperature of a moving fluid. The experiments were conducted in a gravity driven flow through a tube surrounded by a constant temperature water bath.
