Particle Image Velocimetry: Recent Improvements

The Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurement technique has undergone a strong development in the last 10 years. This book presents the proceedings of an international workshop held in Zaragoza, Spain on March 31st and April 1st, 2003 containing contributions from worldwide leading teams in the development of the PIV method. Most of these papers have been funded by the EC via the European EUROPIV 2 consortium to improve the performances of this measurement technique toward applications in the European Aeronautical industry, including results which are of strong interest for the worldwide community in Fluid Dynamics.

Particle Image Velocimetry: Recent Improvements

This book contains papers presented at a workshop, jointly organized by the EUROPIV 2 project, the PivNet 2 Thematic Network, and the ERCOFTAC Spe- cial Interest Group on PIV (SIG 32). EUROPIV 2 was a research program, funded by the European Community which started in April 2000 and ended in June 2003. The aim of this project was to develop and demonstrate the Particle Image Velocimetry technique (PIV), which allows to measure the velocity of large flow fields instantaneously, in order to make it available as an operational tool for the European aeronautical industry. A total of 17 teams from 5 different countries cooperated during these 3 years to im- prove the method, both hardware and sof...

Particle Image Velocimetry

This book summarizes the main results reached using the EC-funded network PivNet 2. It also presents a survey of the state of the art of scientific research using PIV techniques. You get a clear introduction to the basics of these techniques. The authors then guide you through current and possible future applications for flow analysis, including combustion and supersonic flow. Hundreds of illustrations, many in full color, are provided.

Particle Image Velocimetry

This immensely practical guide to PIV provides a condensed, yet exhaustive guide to most of the information needed for experiments employing the technique. This second edition has updated chapters on the principles and extra information on microscopic, high-speed and three component measurements as well as a description of advanced evaluation techniques. What’s more, the huge increase in the range of possible applications has been taken into account as the chapter describing these applications of the PIV technique has been expanded.

Unsteady Computational Fluid Dynamics in Aeronautics

The field of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and hybrids is a vibrant research area. This book runs through all the potential unsteady modelling fidelity ranges, from low-order to LES. The latter is probably the highest fidelity for practical aerospace systems modelling. Cutting edge new frontiers are defined. One example of a pressing environmental concern is noise. For the accurate prediction of this, unsteady modelling is needed. Hence computational aeroacoustics is explored. It is also emerging that there is a critical need for coupled simulations. Hence, this area is also considered and the tensions of utilizing such simulations with the already expensive LES. This work has relevance to the...

Laser Techniques for Fluid Mechanics

This volume includes revised and extended versions of selected papers presented at the Tenth International Symposium on Applications of Laser Techniques to Fluid Mechanics held at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, during the period of July 10 to 13, 2000. The papers describe instrumentation developments for Velocity, Scalar and Multi-Phase Flows and results of measurements of Turbulent Flows, and Combustion and Engines. The papers demonstrate the continuing and healthy interest in the development of understanding of new methodologies and implementation in terms of new instrumentation. The prime objective of the Tenth Symposium was to provide a forum for the presentation of the mo...

First Published in 1964. The main purpose of this study is to look at the many sides of the Levant Company from its foundation, the early years of 1583 to 1605 and to its decline in the 1830s. The Levant Company was an English chartered company with Elizabeth I of England approving its initial charter on 11 September 1592, in order to maintain trade and political alliances with the Ottoman Empire. It includes manuscripts from the Public Record Office, printed materials and documented voyages and travels.
