While it is known that rigid splitter plates play significant roles in flow control, the exact roles
of them in flow-induced vibration (FIV) have not been systematically investigated. This has …

Fluid–structure interactions (FSI) on highly flexible structures involve large deformations and
require specific techniques for a thorough investigation of the flow field and structural …

A novel multi-frame particle image velocimetry (PIV) method, able to evaluate a fluid
trajectory by means of an ensemble-averaged cross-correlation, is introduced. The method …

Tomographic particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a recently developed method to measure
three components of velocity within a volumetric space. We present a visual hull technique …

A low aspect-ratio of 1.67 flexible polyethylene terephthalate membrane located within the
wake region of a square cylinder is studied to understand the effects of Reynolds number …

We present an image preprocessing method for particle image velocimetry (PIV)
measurements of flow around an arbitrarily moving free surface. When performing PIV …

When performing PIV measurements in complex fluid flows with moving interfaces and a two-
phase flow, the induced laser reflections may cause a lot of erroneous velocity vectors. For …

PIV measurements near a moving interface are always difficult. This paper presents a PIV
image pre-processing method that returns high spatial resolution velocity profiles near the …

Off-design operations, such as speed-no-load (SNL), are damaging conditions for reaction
hydraulic turbines such as Francis turbines. Identification and characterization of the flow …

Stenosis strongly alters the flow field inside a blood vessel not only through geometric
changes but also due to changing the mechanical properties of the vessel. Since the flow …
