Caridi, Giuseppe Carlo Alp (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author), Scarano, F. (author)Velocity measurements within the core of high-swirl vortices are often hampered by heavier-than-air particle tracers being centrifuged outside the vortex core region. The use of neutrally buoyant and lighter-than-air tracers is investigated to aim at homogeneous tracers concentration in air flow experiments dealing with high-swirl vortices...journal article 2017

Caridi, Giuseppe Carlo Alp (author), Ragni, D. (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author), Scarano, F. (author)A new system for large-scale tomographic particle image velocimetry in low-speed wind tunnels is presented. The system relies upon the use of sub-millimetre helium-filled soap bubbles as flow tracers, which scatter light with intensity several orders of magnitude higher than micron-sized droplets. With respect to a single bubble generator,...journal article 2016

Morias, Koen (author), Caridi, Giuseppe Carlo Alp (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author), Scarano, F. (author)The present work follows a previous study on the aerodynamic characterization of helium-filled soap bubbles (HFSBs) for large-scale PIV measurements. HFSBs were found to yield, on average, a time response of about 10s. However, the response of each individual tracer remained to be ascertained, which is the topic of the present study.
