Particle Image Velocimetry - A Practical Guide

This immensely practical guide to PIV provides a condensed, yet exhaustive guide to most of the information needed for experiments employing the technique. This second edition has updated chapters on the principles and extra information on microscopic, high-speed and three component measurements as well as a description of advanced evaluation techniques. What's more, the huge increase in the range of possible applications has been taken into account as the chapter describing these applications of the PIV technique has been expanded.

List of contents

Physical and Technical Background.- Mathematical Background of Statistical PIV Evaluation.- PIV Recording Techniques.- Image Evaluation Methods for PIV.- Post-Processing of PIV Data.- Three-Component PIV Measurements.- Micro-PIV.- Examples of Application.- Related Techniques.

Report

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This second edition of a text first published in 1998 represents a comprehensive reference written by noted experts in the field on the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. ... Particle Image Velocimetry ... represents the most comprehensive reference on the PIV technique to date. ... the second edition of this book will undoubted serve the PIV community, novice and advanced users ... ."
