Abstract

A numerical simulation of particle image velocimetry (PIV) is developed in order to evaluate the effectiveness of different methods for the analysis of a multi-exposed image (Fourier transform, auto-correlation and tracking). The trajectory of each particle is obtained by solving a modified Langevin equation in a three-dimensional limited field in which the statistical characteristics of the flow are assigned. In this way it is possible to obtain the position of the baricenters of the seeding particles at prefixed time intervals. A plane section through the field simulates a light sheet on which is obtained, by numerical methods, a multi- exposed image. The analysis is performed with a different number of seeding particles and with different noise levels in order to obtain the effectiveness threshold of each tested method.
