Image Velocimetry

Abstract A hybrid method for particle image velocimetry (PIV) is developed to overcome the limitations of the optical flow method applied to PIV images with large displacements. The main elements of the hybrid method include a cross-correlation scheme for initial estimation, a shifting scheme for generating a shifted image, and an optical flow scheme for obtaining a refined high-resolution velocity field. In addition, a preprocessing scheme is used for correcting the illumination intensity change. The accuracy of the hybrid method is evaluated through simulations in a parametric space in comparison with the typical correlation methods and optical flow method. Further quantitative comparisons are made in PIV measurements in a circular air jet.

Correlation Techniques

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a popular approach to flow visualization and measurement in hydro- and aerodynamic studies and applications. The fluid is seeded with particles that follow the flow and make it visible. Traditionally, correlation techniques have been used to estimate the displacements of the particles in a digital PIV sequence. These techniques are relatively time-consuming and noise-sensitive. Recently, an optical flow estimation technique developed in machine vision has been successfully used in Particle Image Velocimetry. Feature tracking is an alternative approach to motion estimation, whose application to PIV is proposed and studied in this paper. Two efficient feature tracking algorithms are customized and applied to PIV. The algorithmic solutions of the application are described. In particular, techniques for coherence filtering and interpolation of a velocity field are developed. To assess the proposed and the previous approaches, velocity fields obtained by the different methods are quantitatively compared for numerous synthetic and real PIV sequences. It is concluded that the tracking algorithms offer Particle Image Velocimetry a good alternative to both correlation and optical flow techniques.

For industrial grinding processes, the workpiece cooling by metalworking fluids, which strongly influences the workpiece surface layer quality, is not yet fully understood. This leads to high efforts for the empirical determination of suitable cooling parameters, increasing the part manufacturing costs. To close the knowledge gap, a measurement method for the metalworking fluid flow field near the grinding wheel is desired. However, the varying curved surfaces of the liquid phase result in unpredictable light deflections and reflections, which impede optical flow measurements. In order to investigate the yet unknown optical measurement capabilities achievable under these conditions, shadowgraphy in combination with a pattern correlation technique and particle image velocimetry (PIV) are applied in a grinding machine. The results show that particle image velocimetry enables flow field measurements inside the laminar metalworking fluid jet, whereby the shadowgraph imaging velocimetry complements these measurements since it is in particular suitable for regions with spray-like flow regimes. As a conclusion, optical flow field measurements of the metalworking fluid flow in a running grinding machine are shown to be feasible.
