PIV System 2D Measurement

Model Number: MODULE4G-2DPIV

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) systems measure the instantaneous global velocity field in a flowing fluid. Since introducing the first commercial PIV system in 1988, TSI has led the way in PIV innovation and technology.

Product Details

TSI Incorporated's 2D PIV system maintains this tradition by incorporating the most advanced analysis schemes in a completely re-engineered software platform built for flexibility and expansion. Features such as grid deformation and other algorithms from our exclusive license to MicroPIV technology such as ensemble correlation averaging and background correction, ensure the highest possible measurement accuracy even in sparsely seeded flows and flows with large spatial velocity gradients.

Applications

  • Design optimization in flow devices
  • Fluid mechanics research
  • Validation of CFD result

Core System Components

  • Double pulse Nd:YAG laser
  • CCD camera with frame-straddling (specific model depends upon application; includes camera lens, all interface cables, camera frame grabber)
  • INSIGHT™ 4G-2DTR Data Acquisition, Analysis and Display Software Package
  • Light sheet optics (and optional Laser Light Arm)
  • LaserPulse™ Synchronizer Model 610036
  • All associated manuals

Features and benefits

  • Grid deformation for high accuracy measurements even in the presence of large spatial velocity gradients
  • On-line measurement and display of velocity field
  • Ensemble correlation averaging, dynamic background correction, and other proprietary algorithms stemming from our exclusive licence of microPIV technology
