High-Speed 3D Velocimetry System

High-resolution, high-speed tomographic particle image velocimetry and 3D particle tracking velocimetry.

The High-Speed 3D Velocimetry System Facility is home to the LaVision FlowMaster Time-Resolved Tomographic Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system. This system provides capabilities for high-resolution, high-speed tomographic particle image velocimetry and 3D particle tracking velocimetry for the study of complex flows. It is available for loan, and transportable to laboratories and site-specific locations of users.
