Application

Flows at high speed

Particle image velocimetry, sprays, droplets and transparent flows with temporal resolution.

Imagem provisória da aplicação Fluidos e PIV

The challenge

Measuring velocity fields in turbulent flows takes image pairs microseconds apart, synchronized with a pulsed laser, and enough resolution for small particles. Time-resolved PIV and 3D PIV call for even more frame rate and memory.

What the camera needs to deliver

  • Synchronization

    with a pulsed laser

    Double exposure mode and trigger for third-party PIV systems.

  • 4.2 Mpx

    for small particles

    T4040 and KT1640 for wide fields with detail.

  • 512 GB

    of memory on the TMX

    Long sequences in time-resolved PIV.

How to plan your test in 5 steps

  1. Define the flow

    Velocity, field of view, 2D or 3D.

  2. Choose camera and laser

    Frame rate and resolution compatible with the PIV system.

  3. Seed and illuminate

    Tracer particles and an aligned laser sheet.

  4. Synchronize

    A timing box controlling the laser and the camera.

  5. Process

    Third-party PIV software reading the .cine files.

Frequently asked questions

Do Phantom cameras work with third-party PIV systems?

Yes. The .cine format and the SDK are supported by the leading PIV and DIC software.
