Particle image velocimetry (PIV) has become the chief experimental technique for velocity
field measurements in fluid flows. The technique yields quantitative visualizations of the …

Quantitative imaging (QI) techniques are a general class of optically based laboratory
measurement techniques used in the field of experimental fluid mechanics, which have seen …

Bileaflet mechanical heart valves (BMHV) are widely used to replace diseased heart valves.
Implantation of BMHV, however, has been linked with major complications, which are …

Improved understanding of in-cylinder flows requires knowledge from well-resolved
experimental velocimetry measurements and flow simulation modeling. Engine simulations …

This paper concerns the computation of derivatives from particle image velocimetry (PIV)
velocity fields with the goal of obtaining the vorticity component normal to the plane. A …

We present comprehensive particle image velocimetry measurements and direct numerical
simulation (DNS) of physiological, pulsatile flow through a clinical quality bileaflet …

Large water waves in reservoirs, lakes, bays and oceans may be generated by landslides,
shore instabilities, snow avalanches, glacier and rock falls. For Alpine lakes impulse waves …

Introduction Phase contrast MRI allows for the examination of complex hemodynamics in the
heart and adjacent great vessels. Vortex flow patterns seem to play an important role in …

In the present study, air dissolution, size distribution and hydrodynamics of microbubbles in
a dissolved air flotation system were experimentally investigated. The amount of dissolved …

This manuscript details recent improvements in a wavelet-based optical flow velocimetry
(wOFV) method that represents a more physically sound implementation and results in …
