Micro PIV

This course covers the intricate details of micro PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) analysis in fluid mechanics. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the operational principles, methods, and post-processing of images in this measurement technique. For example, the course explains how PIV, a non-invasive technique, allows for the study of flow fields without disturbing them. It also emphasizes the importance of seeding particles in the flow and their characteristics. The course further explores the use of PIV in microscale transport processes and the components and techniques involved in a micro PIV setup. It also highlights the significance of high special resolution and the role of light sources in the process.
