RheoOptics - Particle Imaging Velocimetry PIV

Most rheological theories are based on the assumption that a laminar flow field is present during the measurement. However, in practical applications samples also show a turbulent flow field. The visualization of flow fields is of great importance in hydrodynamics or the investigation of spraying and mixing procedures. Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV) and Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) simultaneous to rheological tests are therefore useful tools for investigating complex flow fields such as shear banding, turbulence or flow instabilities.
