Fluid Dynamics

Laser imaging is recognized as the most valuable diagnostic tool in fluid dynamics applications. Instantaneous 2D and 3D flow images are measured with high spatial and temporal resolution. Even timeresolved 3D (= 4D) imaging is possible for a comprehensive characterization of e. g. turbulent flow structures.

Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) is the most versatile and practical laser imaging technique for measuring scalar flow parameters such as concentration, mixture fraction, fluid composition and temperature.

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is the established and most powerful method for flow field imaging.

Laser imaging is applied in all kinds of fluid flows such as laminar, turbulent, reactive and multiphase flows and is used for the investigation of e. g. thermal flows, mixing processes and detailed flow field analysis.
