2. Background A bit about me Ben Falconer Came to Warwick 2006 Computer and Information engineering MEng project Project based around PIV Current experiments taking place in Farnborough

3. Particle Image Velocimetry Used to map the velocity of a flow field cross section Laser creates a light sheet through the flow Cameras take quick series of images Correlation yields velocities Multiple cross sections create a 3D map of the flow field Image courtesy of LaVision

4. Stereoscopic PIV PIV using two cameras in stero Similar to our eyes Resolves 3D positions Scheimpflug condition Focal plane at an angle Positioning lens at an angle resolves this Image courtesy of LaVision

5. Processing Resolve stereoscopic images Produce a 3D plot of the field from two stereoscopic images. Cross-correlation Find movement of each particle within the 3D plots Produce a velocity mapping for the plane Plane stitching Join each plane mapping to form a full area mapping Image courtesy of LaVision

6. Current Testing Jet engine Looking at turbulance Working with QinetiQ Farnborough site Noise Test facility PIV Normal Stereoscopic Scheduled to restart after Christmas Image courtesy of QinetiQ
