| Module | Indicative timing | PPE |
|---|---|---|
| PIV1/2 preparation/acquisition | 45' | gloves, laser goggles |
| PIV3 processing | 60' | |
| PTV | 60' | |
| Fast Imaging | 60' | |
| Pendant Drop | 60' |
Flow visualization of a jet exiting a pump: preparation of flow tracers, image acquisition and data processing.
Automated tracking of air bubbles rising in a water column: image acquisition, particle detection and linking, trajectory reconstruction.
Acquiring high speed phenomena: the bursting of a balloon filled with water.
Pattern recognition and feature extraction from an image: surface tension measurement by the method of the pendant drop.
The 4 modules rely strongly on the following softwares:
- ImageJ
- Python, from Anaconda distribution
- Python packages: scikit-image, trackpy, OpenPIV
- Matlab (not open source, but available for free through Princeton)
- PIVLab
The processing for PTV, Drop and Fast will be made on the lab computers, you will run the PIV processing from your personal laptop. See details in the different modules, and we can help for the installation.
