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 velocity and temperature sensing using thermosensitive fluorescent polymer seed particles in water

TL;DR: Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is an experimental technique that uses microscale particles as tracers to measure the velocity of a fluid flow as mentioned in this paper, which is an extension of PIV.

Vortex flow evolution in a growing microdroplet during co-flow in coaxial capillaries

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used micro-particle image velocimetry (μPIV) to study the convective flow inside a silicone oil droplet during its formation in coaxial capillaries under co-flow in a water/glycerol mixture continuous phase.

Comparison of oscillatory flow conditions in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids using PIV and high-speed image analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation of oscillatory flow inside a vertical U-shaped circular pipe is presented to mimic the practical scenario takes place within a vertical oil well, where velocity distributions in Newtonian (deionized water) and non-Newtonian fluid (a mixture of three water-based polymeric liquids).

The nature of cell division forces in epithelial monolayers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify two distinct stages of division force generation that follow rounding: (1) Protrusive forces along the division axis that drive division elongation, and (2) outward forces that facilitate postdivision spreading.

Probing the local response of a two-dimensional liquid foam

TL;DR: In this article, instead of flowing the foam around the obstacle, instead of moving the obstacle as an intruder inside the foam, the authors introduce a measuring geometry, new in this context, which makes it possible to independently control the driving velocity and the liquid foam properties, such as the gas fraction and polydispersity.

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.
