Shake-the-Box
Volumetric Particle Tracking at Highest Seeding Density
Shake-the-Box is the most advanced particle tracking method available today. Its most distinct feature is the accurate tracking of tracer particles at highest possible seeding density so far. The high number of tracked particles is directly related to the highest possible spatial resolution for non-intrusive velocity, vorticity, acceleration and pressure measurement.
Features
- award winning tracking method.
- highly accurate particle positions from iterative particle reconstruction.
- low computational cost – short analysis time NEW in DaVis 10
- extension of the application range with complementation of time-resolved Shake-the-Box with multi-pulse Shake-the-Box.
- conversion of particle tracks to a vector grid either by data binning or by Fine Scale Reconstruction for highest spatial resolution.
- non-intrusive measurement of pressure fields with pressure from PIV.
