The flow field around four cylinders for various angles was investigated utilizing particle image velocimetry(PIV) technique. Flow field was recorded by video camera first. Then application of PIV technique was done to the flow field. The results turned out to be useful to analyze complex flow field around multiple cylinders.

A stereoscopic particle tracking velocimetry (SPTV) technique based on the 2-frame hybrid particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) method was developed. The expansion of 2D PTV to SPTV is facilitated by the fact that the PTV method tracks individual particle centroids. To evaluate the performance and measurement accuracy of the present SPTV technique, it was applied to flow images of rigid body translation and synthetic standard images of jet shear flow and impinging jet flow. The data processing routine and measurement uncertainty of the SPTV technique are compared with those of conventional stereoscopic particle image velecimet.y (SPBV). In addition, the centroid translation effect of 2D particle image velocimetry (PIV) is defined and its effect on SPIV measurements is discussed. Compared to the SPIV method, the SPTV technique has inherited merits of concise and precise velocity evaluation procedures and provides better spatial resolution and measurement accuracy.

Experimental methods for making quantitative measurements of velocity fields in non-Newtonian fluids are reviewed. Techniques based on light scattering spectroscopy - laser Doppler velocimetry and homodyne light scattering spectroscopy, techniques based on imaging the displacement of markers - including particle image velocimetry and molecular tagging velocimetry, and techniques based on nuclear magnetic resonance imaging are discussed. The special advantages and disadvantages of each method are summarized, and their applications to non-Newtonian flows are briefly reviewed. Example data from each technique are also included.

In Particle Tracking Velocimetry, the analysis of double-exposed photographic plate can be carried out either by means of Young's fringe analysis or by a digital image processing technique. In this study, we used digital image processing to two images in one frame far analyzing in-cylinder flow fields, and compared PTV with PSV(Particle Streak Velocimetry). Additionally, this technique was verified by two different calibration method. One is interpolation by invert distance, the other is interpolation by area ratio. Finally, the results between two interpolation methods were similar in whole flow fields.

The particle image velocimetry with liquid crystal tracers is used for visualizing and analysis of the bubbly flow in a vertical temperature gradient. This method allows simultaneous measurement of velocity and temperature field at a given instant of time Quantitative data of velocity were obtained by applying the MQD technique to visualized image. The paper describes the method, and presents the transient velocity patterns of bubbly flow.

A digital image processing technique which is able to get the velocity vector distribution of a surface of the spilled oil in the ocean without contacting the flow itself. This technique is based upon the PIV(Particle Imaging Velocimetry) technique and its system mainly consists of a high sensitive camera, a CCD camera, an image grabber, and a host computer in which an image processing algorithm is adopted for velocity vector acquisition. For the acquisition of the advective velocity vector of floating matters on the ocean, a new multi-frame tracking algorithm is proposed, and for the acquisition of the diffusion velocity vector distribution of the spilt oil onto the water surface, a high sensitive gray-level cross-correlation algorithm is proposed.

PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) is a recently developed technique for visualizing the fluid velocity fields. Because it has several advantages over the LDV(Laser Doppler Velocimetry), it became one of the most popular diagnostic tools in spite of its short history. However, its application to combustion is restricted by some problems such as flame illumination, scattered light refraction, particle density variation due to heat release, the combined effect of abrupt change in particle density and fluid velocity on flame contour, and thermophoresis which is particle lagging due to temperature gradient. These problems are expected to be originated from the non-continuous characteristics of flames and the limitations of particle dynamics. In the present study, these problems were considered for the visualization of the instantaneous coaxial hydrogen diffusion flame. And the instantaneous flame contour was detected using particle density difference. The visualized diffusion flame velocity field shows its turbulent and meandering nature. It was also observed that the flame is located inside the outer shear layer and flame geometry is largely influenced by the vorticity.

Using the film-based particle image velocimetry, natural convective flows have been measured quantitatively in a rectangular enclosure with a heater located on the bottom surface. The success rate of the present interrogation method has been obtained as a function of the number of particle pairs and the distance between the particle pairs. The influence of the diffraction halo at the center have been effectively eliminated by rotating-subtracting the original Fourier-transformed image. By utilizing the coded multiple pulsed illumination with two different time intervals, the minimum measurable velocity have been improved. The results of the velocity distributions and the heat transfer correlations have been obtained for different locations of heater in the enclosure.

A particle image velocimetry (PIV) was applied to a flow measurement in a transonic centrifugal impeller. A phase locked measurement technique every $20\%$ blade pitch enabled a reconstruction of a velocity field over one blade pitch. The measured velocity field at the inducer of impeller clearly showed a shock wave generated on the suction surface of a blade.
