Mercury Kryten PIV

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is an optical method used for flow visualization in fluids. Small particles are mixed into the fluid which is then illuminated, allowing a camera system to produce images of the tracing particles. Powered by Microvec.

The images are then processed to measure the velocity within the flow. Further processing provides flow vertices, iso-speed lines, streamlines, and flow field parameters distribution. The system usually consists of a CCD or CMOS camera, a strong laser, and a synchronizer that provides triggering for the camera and laser. A powerful software by Microvec is used for the calculations.
