Model 2D & STEREO PIV -Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV)

LaVision’s FlowMaster PIV systems can be used for 2D and stereoscopic flow field analysis. FlowMaster 2D measures two velocity components in a plane (2D2C) with one camera. FlowMaster Stereo-PIV is a straightforward extension of the FlowMaster 2D concept and enables the measurement of all three velocity components inside a light sheet (2D3C) using two cameras. For Stereo-PIV LaVision has developed a unique and patented camera calibration method. This so-called Self-Calibration method uses the original particle images of both cameras to correct even large misalignments between calibration plate and laser light sheet. LaVision’s Self-Calibration method is a standard feature of the Stereo-PIV software in DaVis.
