Particle Image Velocimetry: Recent Improvements

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the main features of the PIV Synthetic Image Generator (SIG) which was developed in the frame of the EUROPIV 2 project. The aim of developing this generator was to have a standardised tool , which allows the generation of identical synthetic PIV images in different teams and to simplify the performance evaluation of PIV processing algorithms. A second objective was to have a flexible tool that can be used to prepare a PIV experiment by optimizing the recording parameters on realistic synthetic images. This was quite useful and successful in the EUROPIV 2 project. Consequently, it was decided to make this tool available to the scientific community. The basic version of the SIG is provided on the CD-ROM going with the present book. It will be available and updated on the PIVnet website: pivnet.sm.go.dlr.de.
