Abstract

Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV) is emerging as a powerful measurement technique which can be used as an alternative or complementary approach to Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) in a wide range of research applications. The instantaneous planar velocity measurements obtained with PIV make it an attractive technique for use in the study of the complex flow fields encountered in turbomachinery. The data acquired offer several advantages over traditional LDV data: higher accuracy; multiple measurement points and the ability to study both transient and steady state flow phenomena. Many of the same issues encountered in the application of LDV techniques to rotating machinery apply in the application of PIV. Techniques for optical access, light sheet delivery and particulate seeding are discussed. Preliminary results form the successful application of the PIV technique to a transonic axial compressor are presented.
