Abstract The paper is devoted to development of the optical electronic setup for carrying out measurements by multicolor particle image velocimetry. The main advantage of this method is the ability to visualize vector velocity fields in several planes simultaneously. As a result a 3D model of a setup was developed, a laboratory sample was assembled and series of testing experiments were performed. As a test object, vortex structure formed by a chemical stirrer in a cuvette with liquid has been considered. The experimental data were compared with the computer model developed in SolidWorks and FlowVision software.

This publication focuses on the experimental validation of film models by comparing constructed and experimental velocity fields based on model and elementary experimental data. The film experiment covers Kapitza numbers Ka = 278.8 and Ka = 4538.6, a Reynolds number range of 1.6–52, and disturbance frequencies of 0, 2, 5, and 7 Hz. Compared to previous publications, the applied methodology has boundary identification procedures that are more refined and provide additional adaptive particle image velocimetry (PIV) method access to synthetic particle images. The experimental method was validated with a comparison with experimental particle image velocimetry and planar laser induced fluorescence (PIV/PLIF) results, Nusselt’s theoretical prediction, and experimental particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) results of flat steady cases, and a good continuity equation reproduction of transient cases proves the method’s fidelity. The velocity fields are reconstructed based on different film flow model velocity profile assumptions such as experimental film thickness, flow rates, and their derivatives, providing a validation method of film model by comparison between reconstructed velocity experimental data and experimental velocity data. The comparison results show that the first-order weighted residual model (WRM) and regularized model (RM) are very similar, although they may fail to predict the velocity field in rapidly changing zones such as the front of the main hump and the first capillary wave troughs.

Recognizing the significance of factual velocity fields in a rapid mixer, this study focuses on analyzing local velocity gradients in various mixer geometries with particle image velocimetry (PIV) and comparing the results of the analysis with the conventional G-value, for reviewing the roles of G-value in the current design and operation practices. The results of this study clearly show that many arguments and doubts are possible about the scientific correctness of G-value, and its current use. This is because the G-value attempts to represent the turbulent and complicated factual velocity field in a jar. Also, the results suggest that it is still a good index for representing some aspects of mixing condition, at least, mixing intensity. However, it cannot represent the distribution of velocity gradients in a jar, which is an important factor for mixing. This study as a result suggests developing another index for representing the distribution to be used with the G-value.

Myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack, is the single leading cause of death in North America. It results from the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque, which occurs in response to both mechanical stress and inflammatory processes. In order to validate computational models of atherosclerotic coronary arteries, a novel technique for molding realistic compliant phantom featuring injection-molded inclusions and multiple layers has been developed. This transparent phantom allows for particle image velocimetry (PIV) flow analysis and can supply experimental data to validate computational fluid dynamics algorithms and hypothesis.

This paper presents an experimental investigation of field amplified sample stacking (FASS) with micron resolution particle image velocimetry (μPIV). The preliminary experiments reported in this work show particle velocity fields in electrokinetic flow in a glass microchannel with a single buffer-buffer interface. The buffer-to-buffer conductivity ratio is 10. Stacking of latex microspheres (i.e., increases in their number density) in the presence of a background electroosmotic flow is demonstrated. The generation of an internal pressure gradient is quantified using μPIV. This work is part of an ongoing study of the spatial and temporal development of the velocity and concentration profiles of FASS systems.

Recently the automotive industry has been using superchargers to boost the power generated by the engine, but the noise generated by these superchargers is of great concern. The noise generated during the working of the supercharger is primarily a fluid mechanics phenomenon. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) was used to study air flow characteristics of a positive displacement supercharger with an emphasis on gaining insights into strategies for noise reduction. PIV was used to measure the instantaneous and ensemble-averaged velocity fields of the flow at the outlet of the supercharger as a function of blade position, allowing for visualization of the flow as it leave the blades. The preliminary results show that the flow exits the supercharger as a high speed jet at the end closer to the pulley end, and the flow varies with the change in blade position.

Experimental data on linear instability of the laminar separating flow and mean velocity characteristics of the turbulent boundary layer are reported. The results are obtained through wind-tunnel testing of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) performed at DLR, Goettingen. Details of the method, as applied to the above problems of fluid mechanics, are considered. The present findings seem helpful during experimental work on subsonic near-wall layers, when focusing on their instantaneous and time-mean velocity characteristics.

The paper presents Particle Image Velocimetry experimental measurements and an ANSYS CFX numerical simulation of the mean and fluctuating velocity field in a turbulent, isothermal flow downstream of a V-shaped bluff body flame stabilizer equipping a post-combustion system installed downstream of a Garrett 30-67 gas turbine engine. The post-combustion system used as experimental model is described in detail, and the main characteristics of the Garrett 30-67 gas generator are included in the paper. Also, the instrumentation used on the experimental rig, including the Particle Image Velocimetry equipment, is briefly described. The presence of a bluff body inside the high speed flow creates a re-circulating wake structure, clearly seen in the experimental data. In the near field, the re-circulating region’s length and width of are captured reasonably well by the numerical simulation, but the momentum rate transfer further downstream is over-predicted, as the grid resolution worsens. An overall over prediction of the axial velocity by the numerical simulation is noted by comparing the numerical simulation results to the experimental data, explained by an over estimated inlet velocity in the numerical simulation, provided by Particle Image Velocimetry experimental measurements in the free exhaust jet behind the gas generator, without the installation of the post-combustion system, thus neglecting the effect of the latter on the operating regime of the gas turbine engine.
