What Does PIV Stand For?
PIV stands for Particle Image Velocimetry
PIV, or Particle Image Velocimetry, is an advanced optical measurement technique used to visualize and quantify fluid flow dynamics. By tracking the motion of small, neutrally buoyant particles seeded within a flow, PIV captures high-resolution images at discrete intervals. These images are then processed to calculate velocity fields, enabling researchers and engineers to analyze complex flow patterns and behaviors in various applications, including aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and biomedical engineering.
