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.

The Influence of Positioning of the Nellix Endovascular Aneurysm Sealing System on Suprarenal and Renal Flow: An In Vitro Study.

TL;DR: Evaluating the influence of device positioning and infrarenal neck diameter on flow patterns in the Nellix endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) system found that EVAS enhances vorticity proximal to the seal zone, especially with lower positioning of the device and in larger neck diameters.

Experimental Investigation of Air Compliance Effect on Measurement of Mechanical Properties of Blood Sample Flowing in Microfluidic Channels.

TL;DR: Given that the air cavity in the blood sample syringe significantly contributed to delaying transient behaviors of blood flows, it hindered the quantification of RBC aggregation and blood viscoelasticity and it was impossible to obtain the viscosity and time constant when the blood flow rate was not available.

Self-regulation of phenotypic noise synchronizes emergent organization and active transport in confluent microbial environments

TL;DR: In this article , the authors report that phenotypic noise self-regulates with growth and coordinates collective structural organization, the kinetics of topological defects and the emergence of active transport around confluent colonies.

Motion onset in simple yield stress fluids

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an experimental investigation of motion onset in simple yield stress fluids, which refers to the transition from the motionless steady state to a steady flow, as well as the development of motion in a fluid initially at rest.

High-speed diagnostics for the study of flame stabilization and transient behaviour in a swirled burner with variable liquid-fuel distribution

TL;DR: In this article, a model gas turbine combustor fed with liquid dodecane is used for high-speed optical diagnostics (fuel droplets Mie scatering and chemiluminescence measurements) coupled with advanced post-processing methods like dynamic mode decomposition.

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.
