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

Optical diagnostics for fluid temperature measurements continue to further our
understanding of flows involving heat transfer and/or chemical reactions, which are intrinsic …

A novel method is presented to quantify the uncertainty of PIV data. The approach is a
posteriori, ie the unknown actual error of the measured velocity field is estimated using the …

The popularity of plasma actuators as flow control devices has sparked a flurry of diagnostic
efforts towards their characterisation. This review article presents an overview of …

The flow-tracing fidelity of sub-millimetre diameter helium-filled soap bubbles (HFSB) for low-
speed aerodynamics is studied. The main interest of using HFSB in relation to micron-size …

A test case for pressure field reconstruction from particle image velocimetry (PIV) and
Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) has been developed by constructing a simulated …

The structure of a screeching axisymmetric jet in the helical C mode at a nozzle pressure
ratio of 3.4 issuing from a convergent nozzle is studied using high-resolution particle image …

The estimation of the turbulence level of flow facilities is very important for the
comprehensive description of experimental results. While for low flow velocities various …

Plasma synthetic jet actuators (PSJAs), capable of producing high-velocity pulsed jets at
high frequency, are well suited for high-Reynolds-number subsonic and supersonic flow …

Transonic buffet behaviour of the supercritical airfoil OAT15A was investigated
experimentally at flow conditions Ma= 0.7 M a= 0.7 and α= 3.5^ ∘ α= 3. 5∘, using schlieren …
