Integrated PIV Systems for Precise Flow Analysis

In collaboration with experienced partners in flow measurement technology, we offer turnkey PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) systems. These high-performance solutions provide accurate, non-intrusive measurement of velocity fields in fluids and gases—ideal for use in research, development, and education.

How PIV Technology Works

PIV is an image-based technique used to measure flow velocities. Fine tracer particles are introduced into the flow and illuminated by two precisely timed laser pulses. High-speed cameras capture the particle positions at two consecutive moments. Using mathematical cross-correlation, the displacement of particles is calculated, resulting in a detailed velocity field.

Advanced Techniques
In addition to classic 2D PIV, several advanced methods offer greater insight:

• Stereo PIV: Two cameras view the measurement plane from different angles, allowing capture of the out-of-plane velocity component—resulting in full 3-component 2D measurements.

• Tomo-PIV (Tomographic PIV): Multiple cameras are used to reconstruct the entire 3D velocity field within a volume. This is ideal for analyzing complex, unsteady, or turbulent flow structures such as vortices, cavity flows, or biomechanical systems.

• Time-Resolved PIV: Captures high-frequency data to analyze fast, transient flow behavior in great detail.

Advantages of Our PIV Systems

• Complete 3D flow visualization, not just 2D cross-sections

• High spatial and temporal resolution

• Non-contact and highly accurate

• Perfect for validating CFD simulations

Our integrated PIV systems combine cutting-edge laser technology, high-speed cameras, and advanced software for precise, reliable flow measurements across a wide range of applications.
