Facility Description

Facility Description

Description of the facility

High-Speed Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) Facility

The High-Speed PIV facility is a state-of-the-art setup designed for whole-flow-field measurements, providing instantaneous velocity vector data in fluid cross-sections. This non-intrusive technique enables the study of high-speed flows and boundary layer phenomena.

Key Applications:

  • Multiphase flows and turbulent gas-particle suspensions
  • Erosion, sedimentation, and crude oil transport
  • Mixing and segregation in granular media and micro-devices
  • Visualisation of tidal and tsunami propagation
  • Wave interactions with structures and sediment
  • Jet dynamics, thin liquid sheet breakdown, and noise suppression in high-speed jets

The facility supports advanced research in fluid mechanics and complex flow phenomena.

Features Working Principle

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a whole-flow-field technique providing instantaneous velocity vector measurements in a cross-section of a flow.

This non-intrusive technique allows the application of PIV in high-speed flows and boundary layer studies of fluids.
