Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a non-intrusive laser optical measurement technique for research and diagnostics into flow, turbulence, microfluidics, spray atomization, and combustion processes.
We offer a range of PIV solutions to meet specific research requirements. These innovative systems utilise a single camera to measure two velocity components within a plane. For more advanced requirements, we provide multiple camera systems that can measure three velocity components either within a plane or a volume. Additionally, we offer high-speed systems that are specifically designed to study vortices.
To ensure the highest quality measurement, our advanced features include uncertainty estimation, propagation, post-processing routing for vortex detections, combined PIV/LIF/Shadow measurement, and pressure computations.
Key Benefits
