Exploring the optimal experimental setup for surface flow velocity measurements using PTV.

TL;DR: The particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) algorithm can be used to describe the dynamics of surface flow velocity in both space and time using fixed cameras or unmanned aerial systems (UASs), and analyses allowed exploration of the optimal particle seeding density and frame rate in different configurations.

Three-dimensional effects in laminar flow past a confined cylinder

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and numerical study on the Newtonian fluid flow around a confined cylinder placed in a rectangular duct was undertaken in order to assess three-dimensional effects on the flow patterns.

Ice dices for monitoring stream surface velocity

TL;DR: In this paper, the trajectories of a few grams of artificially deployed ice dices are reconstructed by analyzing thermal images with particle tracking velocimetry, and the average surface flow velocities are in agreement with benchmark values estimated with a current meter.

Flow past a single stationary sphere, 1. Experimental and numerical techniques

TL;DR: A large number of computational and experimental studies have been performed in the last several decades which have enabled the understanding and hence helped in distinguishing the flow regimes based on the characteristics exhibited by different flow parameters as mentioned in this paper.

Particle Image Velocimetry: A Practical Guide

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a practical guide for the planning, performance and understanding of experiments employing the PIV technique, which is primarily intended for engineers, scientists and students, who already have some basic knowledge of fluid mechanics and nonintrusive optical measurement techniques.

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.
