Jux, C. (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author), Scarano, F. (author)Some recent trends in the development of PIV techniques are leading to the realization of velocity measurement at large scale. Moreover, methods for evaluating the fluid flow pressure from PIV data have been successfully demonstrated at small scale and for simple geometries. Methods for quantitative visualization of surface flow properties such...conference paper 2018

Terra, W. (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author), Scarano, F. (author), van Oudheusden, B.W. (author)The accuracy of the “PIV wake rake” method to measure the drag of transiting objects is evaluated. Tomographic Particle Image Velocimetry measurements are conducted on a sphere towed at different speeds, within a Reynolds number range where the drag coefficient is constant. In contrast to PIV wake rake application on steady models in wind...conference paper 2018

Wieneke, B.F.A. (author)The fundamental properties of computed flow fields using particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) have been investigated, viewing PIV processing as a black box without going in detail into algorithmic details. PIV processing can be analyzed using a linear filter model, i.e. assuming that the computed displacement field is the result of some spatial...doctoral thesis 2017

Giepman, R.H.M. (author)Shock wave-boundary layer interactions are prevalent in many aerospace applications that involve transonic or supersonic flows. Such interactions may lead to boundary layer separation, flow unsteadiness and substantial losses in the total pressure. Flow control techniques can help to mitigate these adverse effects and stabilize the interaction....doctoral thesis 2016
