Methods of measuring velocity fields in the problem with a channel with periodic hills

Аннотация

The work studies the flow characteristics in a channel with periodic hills on the basis of three algorithms for calculating the flow velocity fields through the images: Particle Image Velocimetry, Particle Tracking Velocimetry, and Pyramid Correlation. Descriptions of algorithms, detailed information about the experiment and parameters of the received data processing, as well as the results of calculations of instantaneous velocity fields at selected time points obtained by corresponding methods are provided. In addition, the presented techniques are compared on the basis of experimental data.
