Particle Displacement And Velocity Measurement Using Holography

Near field acoustic holography with particle velocity transducers

Field Measurement of Particle Settling Velocity

Many stormwater management practices depend on sedimentation as their primary removal mechanism, but the settling velocity distribution of particles in runoff from a specific watershed is rarely known. A simple and effective method to characterize settling velocity distribution is needed to improve the design of stormwater management practices. Elutriation devices have been used to characterize...

Uncertainty characterization of particle depth measurement using digital in-line holography and the hybrid method.

In the detection of particles using digital in-line holography, measurement accuracy is substantially influenced by the hologram processing method. In particular, a number of methods have been proposed to determine the out-of-plane particle depth (z location). However, due to the lack of consistent uncertainty characterization, it has been unclear which method is best suited to a given measurem...

Rapid measurement of pulse wave velocity via multisite flow displacement.

A MR method is presented for measuring pulse wave velocity (PWV) and its application to assessing stiffness in the human thoracic aorta. This one-dimensional (1D) flow displacement method applies a single RF comb excitation to the vessel, followed by an oscillating frequency encoding gradient, each oscillation providing a 1D projection of the vessel, enabling one to track fluid motion. The curr...

Holography and particle image velocimetry

The contribution of holographic techniques to particle velocity measurements is discussed. Two-dimensional holographic particle image velocimetry and three-dimensional holographic velocimetry are described and compared. Their advantages and limits are discussed and the latest progress in this domain is presented, together with perspectives for the near future.
