Abstract
Digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) is a non-intrusive analysis technique that is very popular for mapping flows quantitatively. To get accurate results, in particular in complex flow fields, a number of challenges have to be faced and solved: The quality of the flow measurements is affected by computational details such as image pre-conditioning, sub-pixel peak estimators, data validation procedures, interpolation algorithms and smoothing methods. The accuracy of several algorithms was determined and the best performing methods were implemented in a user-friendly open-source tool for performing DPIV flow analysis in Matlab.

Flow fluctuations in wormlike micelle fluids.

TL;DR: A dynamical systems model is developed and a rapid breakdown in micelle alignment is observed in polarized light microscopy at the onset of the flow rate jump, indicating the importance of rapid micelle structural changes on the fluctuations.

Visualisation of air–water bubbly column flow using array Ultrasonic Velocity Profiler

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study of bubbly two-phase flow in a rectangular bubble column was performed using two ultrasonic array sensors, which can measure the instantaneous velocity of gas bubbles on multiple measurement lines.

Synthetic jet generation by high-frequency cavitation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used high-speed photography and particle image velocimetry to characterise a synthetic jet, generated by trains of vortices induced by non-spherical bubble collapse.

Mapping and classifying large deformation from digital imagery : Application to analogue models of lithosphere deformation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use particle image velocimetry (PIV) to reconstructing cumulative deformation, and use PIV-derived incremental displacements for this purpose.

Multitier mechanics control stromal adaptations in the swelling lymph node

TL;DR: In this article , the biomechanics of LN swelling on the cellular and organ scale were characterized and identified lymphocyte trapping by influx and proliferation as drivers of an outward pressure force, causing fibroblastic reticular cells of the T-zone (TRCs) and their associated conduits to stretch.

The Design and Implementation of FFTW3

TL;DR: It is shown that such an approach can yield an implementation of the discrete Fourier transform that is competitive with hand-optimized libraries, and the software structure that makes the current FFTW3 version flexible and adaptive is described.

Adaptive histogram equalization and its variations

TL;DR: It is concluded that clipped ahe should become a method of choice in medical imaging and probably also in other areas of digital imaging, and that clip ahe can be made adequately fast to be routinely applied in the normal display sequence.

Digital Particle Image Velocimetry

TL;DR: In this article, the directional ambiguity associated with PIV and LSV is resolved by implementing local spatial cross-correlations between two sequential single-exposed particle images, and the recovered velocity data are used to compute the spatial and temporal vorticity distribution and the circulation of the vortex ring.
