Particle Tracking Velocimetry 1st Edition – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

Particle velocimetry is a
non-intrusive optical measurement method whereby global velocity fields can be
obtained in either two- or three-dimensions through time by inferring fluid
motion through the displacement of particle tracers which seed the flow. Particle image velocimetry, which obtains each velocity vector by
tracking groups of particles within an interrogation window through a
cross-correlation algorithm, has thrived generously since its development, however, particle tracking velocimetry (PTV), which obtains each of the velocity vector
by tracking individual particle, has received less attention. The goal of
this book is to therefore provide a review of PTV, with a focus on methods and
techniques that have been implemented towards its development and improvement,
rather than on its applications.
