PIV Sub-System

PIV System

PIV system evaluates two- or three-dimensional velocity vector fields from scattered light patterns of particles or droplets seeded into the flow (liquid or gas). Techniques like Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) are supported.

The PIV camera system can take two images within min. 200ns for ultrafast cross-correlation for speeds up to Mach 4. The high camera sensitivity allows the use of very small particles (or droplets). An image field of up to 2k x 2k pixels combined with 12 bit dynamic range gives an unsurpassed spatial resolution. Programmable precise timing sequences combined with flexible and speedy software evaluation complete the package.
