One day short course for flow visualization
Hyoungsoo Kim
Dept. Mech. Eng., KAIST, South Korea
The short course is designed for the quick introduction for flow visualization techniques including only shadowgraphy, Schlieren, and particle image velocimetry. The course is constructed with 3hrs.
For the first lecture, we will talk about shadowgraphy and Schlieren methods that are the method to detect the difference of the refractive index in fluid media. By using the distortion of the light lay through a different fluid, we can observe the motion of fluid.
Secondly, the most conventional flow visualization technique will be introduced, so-called particle image velocimetry (PIV). In this lecture, to perform PIV, three main aspects are discussed, particle, light source, and optics. Furthermore, the optimal conditions for achieving a good vector field are summarized and explained.
Lastly, we will shortly discuss micro-PIV, which is for microfluidics applications. Some distinct features compared to conventional PIV are treated during the lecture.
