An alternative illumination source based on LEDs for PIV measurements on human swimmers—A feasibility study

Methods for flow visualization help to investigate the motion of fluids that are normally invisible. Especially, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) – with a laser as light source – has been established in the field of engineering and partly in biology. Since the standard measuring equipment applying a laser system is very sensitive with respect to transport, temperature, humidity as well as laser safety requirements have to be adhered, the observation and classification of flow pattern around human swimmers in swimming pools has been rarely applied. There is a need for a simple, powerful, affordable, robust, and portable illumination source which shall not harm the swimmer by exceeding the permitted maximum radiation for human skin and eyes. As a result, this technical note demonstrates an alternative light source system based on LEDs which enables PIV measurements around human swimmers similar to experiments with a (traditional) laser system. As an example, the flow fields of two different swimmers with a similar movement and phase are compared using both illumination methods laser and LED. Furthermore, a series of sequential velocity fields, produced by the motion of a monofin swimmer, generate a vortex pair with an inverse Karman vortex street which is typically seen in fish and marine mammal locomotion. Consequently, this LED illumination source is show to provide a sufficient suitable light intensity as well as light quality enabling the measurement of the flow field around swimmers.     

Investigation on airflows in abnormal nasal cavity with adenoid vegetation by particle image velocimetry

Knowledge of airflow characteristics in nasal cavity is essential to understand the physiological and pathological aspects of nasal breathing. Several studies have utilizedphysical models of the healthy nasal cavity to investigate the relationship between nasal anatomy and airflow. Since the final goal of these works is their contribution to the diagnosisand treatment of nasal diseases, the next step on this topic is naturally studies for disordered nasal cavities. In this paper, as the first application, airflows in the normal and abnormal nasal cavities with adenoid vegetation are investigated experimentally by PIV, and comparisons of both cases are appreciated. Dense CT data and careful treatment of model surface under the ENT doctor’s advice provide more sophisticatedcavity model. The CBC PIV algorithm with window offset is used for PIV flow analysis. Average and RMS distributions are obtained for inspirational and expirational nasal airflows. Airflow characteristics that are related with the abnormalities in nasal cavity are presented.     

基于自适应窗口选择PIV技术的序列星图运动估计方法

对星空观测CCD相机获得的序列图象,由于相机姿态的变化或者观测平台位置的改变,观测的序列图象存在全局运动,需要对星图的运动参数进行准确的估计。粒子图象测速技术（Particle Image Velocimetry, PIV）的发明和发展标志着现代实验流体测量技术的重大突破。PIV技术在流体力学及空气动力学研究领域具有较高的学术意义和实用价值,本文提出一种基于自适应窗口选择PIV技术的序列星图运动参数估计算法。算法通过自适应选取窗口使得分析窗口内的恒星成像密度达到最大,且窗口边缘区域不存在高亮恒星成像,然后对分析窗口进行互相关计算,求得序列星图的运动参数。结果证明本文算法在很大程度上提高了互相关运动参数估计的精度,将运动参数估计误差降低到0.01pixel以内。     

Fluid flow characteristics in the aquaculture tank for a breeding fish

The aquaculture tank is used for breeding fish in sea water which was pumped up to land. The flow characteristics in the aquaculture were investigated with varying the tank geometry and flow rate. The numerical analysis has been employed for calculating the velocity and temperature distributions in a water tank of rectangular type. The finite volume method and SIMPLE algorithm with 3-dimensional standard k-ε turbulence model were used for the numerical analysis. For comparison with experimental results, the PIV system was applied to visualize the flow patterns quantitatively. The numerical results showed good agreements with the experimental results. The mean velocity and temperature versus aquarium depth were represented for various circulating flow rates. Especially, the aquaculture environment is recommended that the aquarium depth has to be d=0.5 m, and this case is the condition of higher velocity and temperature in winter season.     

液浮转子式陀螺的间隙流场

研究了液浮转子式陀螺仪转子在高速转动时其间隙流场的流动状态。采用计算流体力学中的雷诺应力模型,对陀螺仪转子与定子间的封闭流场进行数值模拟,并运用粒子成像测试技术（MicroPIV）观测运动流场,测量液浮陀螺的间隙流场速度。模拟结果表明,转子上下表面与侧壁面均形成不同类型的二次流动,该现象随转速及空间尺寸的增大而增强;当转速增大到7500r/min时,二次流速可达到0.3m/s,故减小空间尺寸有利于提高转子的运动稳定性。另外,文中给出了运用粒子成像测试技术(PIV)得到的流场矢量分布与流线分布图。实验证实,MicroPIV测试技术可实现对转子转速在0~1000r/min内的流场速度的精确观测,满足限域空间内对高速运动流场的非接触测量要求。     

Comparison of flow characteristics around an equilateral triangular cylinder via PIV and Large Eddy Simulation methods

The flow structures around an equilateral triangular cylinder, which is commonly used as a vortex shedder in the vortex flowmeter, were investigated experimentally and numerically. Flow characteristics such as vorticity contours, patterns of sectional streamlines, velocity vectors, velocity fields, Reynolds stress correlations, Strouhal numbers and drag coefficients were examined using the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique and the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence model. Experimental studies were performed in an open water channel for Re=2.9×10³, Re=5.8×10³ and Re=1.16×10⁴ based on the equilateral triangle edge. A sharp-tip corner of the cylinder with a triangle cross-section was exposed to the upstream side while the other two sharp-tip corners were placed on the downstream side. Numerical studies were also completed at Reynolds numbers in the range of 2.9×10³≤Re≤1.16×10⁵ to obtain the changes in the Strouhal numbers and drag coefficients. When the results of PIV and LES are considered in the same interval of Reynolds numbers, the maximum and minimum values of each flow pattern were nearly the same. The time-averaged patterns had considerable symmetry with respect to the axis line passing through the sharp-tip corner of the cross-section of the triangular cylinder. The Strouhal number was independent of the Reynolds number and was found to be approximately 0.22. The drag coefficient decreased with increasing Reynolds numbers while increasing the Power Spectral Density (PSD) and the vortex shedding frequency. For the same Reynolds numbers, the experimental and numerical results were in good agreement. Therefore, the LES turbulence model is recommended for applications of flow around this type of bluff body that is generally used in the design of vortex flowmeters to generate vortex shedding.     

The Influence of Speed,Grease Type,and Temperature on Radial Contaminant Particle Migration in a Double Restriction Seal

Microparticle image velocimetry (μPIV) is used to measure the grease velocity profile in small seal-like geometries and the radial migration of contaminant particles is predicted. In the first part, the influence of shaft speed, grease type, and temperatures on the flow of lubricating greases in a narrow double restriction sealing pocket is evaluated. Such geometries can be found in, for example, labyrinth-type seals. In a wide pocket the velocity profile is one-dimensional and the Herschel-Bulkley model is used. In a narrow pocket, it is shown by the experimental results that the side walls have a significant influence on the grease flow, implying that the grease velocity profile is two-dimensional. In this area, a single empirical grease parameter for the rheology is sufficient to describe the velocity profile.

In the second part, the radial migration of contaminant particles through the grease is evaluated. Centrifugal forces acting on a solid spherical particle are calculated from the grease velocity profile. Consequently, particles migrate to a larger radius and finally settle when the grease viscosity becomes large due to the low shear rate. This behavior is important for the sealing function of the grease in the pocket and relubrication.     

Effects of a swirling and recirculating flow on the combustion characteristics in non-premixed flat flames

The effects of swirl intensity on non-reacting and reacting flow characteristics in a flat flame burner (FFB) with four types of swirlers were investigated. Experiments using the PIV method were conducted for several flow conditions with four swirl numbers of 0, 0.26, 0.6 and 1.24 in non-reacting flow. The results show that the strong swirling flow causes a recirculation, which has the toroidal structures, and spreads above the burner exit plane. Reacting flow characteristics such as temperature and the NO concentrations were also investigated in comparison with non-reacting flow characteristics. The mean flame temperature was measured as the function of radial distance, and the results show that the strong swirl intensity causes the mean temperature distributions to be uniform. However the mean temperature distributions at the swirl number of 0 show the typical distribution of long flames. NO concentration measurements show that the central toroidal recirculation zone caused by the strong swirl intensity results in much greater reduction in NO emissions, compared to the non-swirl condition. For classification into the flame structure interiorly, the turbulence Reynolds number and the Damkohler number have been examined at each condition. The interrelation between reacting and non-reacting flows shows that flame structures with swirl intensity belong to a wrinkled laminar-flame regime.

When,what and how image transformation techniques should be used to reduce error in Particle Image Velocimetry data?

Particle Image Velocimetry is commonly used to compute velocity fields in several areas including fluid mechanics, hydraulics and geophysics. However, acquired images often contain deformations caused either by camera lenses or placement. In this work the most popular digital transformation methods used to remove/reduce these deformations are benchmarked and suggestions tailoring specific transformations to different types of deformations are made. This article also shows the reduction of the error associated to the first and second order statistics, in the case of two-dimensional Particle Image Velocimetry, when the transformation techniques are applied to the computed velocity fields, and not the raw images, a common option in available commercial software.     

An experimental study on flow characteristics of erf between two parallel-plate electrodes by using piv technique

An experimental investigation was performed to study the characteristics of ER(Electro-Rheological) fluid flow in a horizontal rectangular tube with or without D. C voltage. To determine some characteristics of the ER flow, 2D PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) technique was employed for velocity measurements. This research found the mean velocity distributions with OkV/mm, 1.0kV/mm and 1.5kV/mm for Re=0, 0.62, 1.29 and 2.26. When the strength of the electric field increased, the cluster of ERF was clearly strong along the test tube and the flow rate decreased. The present results will contribute to the economical and compact design of ER fluids system.
