We studied the grid-generated turbulence by using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique. test on this already well flow new ways of analyzing spatially resolved PIV data, such as spatial spectra and structure functions. compare some characteristics with results Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA).

The response of the retinal circulation to an acute elevation in systemic blood pressure was studied in three healthy normotensive volunteers using the noninvasive laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) technique combined with retinal vessel size measurements. Isometric exercise was employed to induce the acute rise in arterial pressure. There was no detectable change in retinal blood flow until the m...

The development of Doppler global velocimetry is described. Emphasis is placed on the modifications necessary to advance this nonintrusive laser based measurement technique from a laboratory prototype to a viable wind tunnel flow diagnostics tool. Several example wind tunnel flow field investigations are described to illustrate the versatility of the technique. Flow conditions ranged from incom...

Umbilical artery\vein, middle cerebral artery, and ductus venosus Doppler velocimetry were performed at 33 weeks of gestation in the settings of an intrauterine growth restricted fetus during a heart rate deceleration. Interestingly, we recorded a sudden onset redistribution of fetal blood flow with fetal bradycardia. Spontaneous normalization of waveforms was observed once fetal heart rate ret...

As stated in this review, platelets functions and their important role in coagulabity in pregnancy must be well understood, not only in thrombosis related complications in pregnancy (i.e., hypertension, diabetes, thrombophilia).Clinical findings suggest that a periodical monitoring of haematological markers such as MPV and coagulation markers may be associated to Doppler velocimetry, keeping in...

Objectives. This study investigated the proximal centerline flow convergence region simultaneously by both color Doppler and laser Doppler velocimetry. Background. Although numerous investigations have been performed to test the flow convergence method, to our knowledge there has yet been no experimental study using reference standard velocimetric techniques to define precisely the hydrodynamic...

The Aerospace Research Laboratory at the University of Virginia currently uses Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) to measure the velocity fields of flow through a Mach 2 Scramjet Test Section. PIV is the method of tracking seed particles as they are carried through the flow, and using their velocities to create a velocity field. This method is limited by seed particles coating the windows, known ...

We describe a novel optical system for bidirectional color Doppler imaging of flow in biological tissues with micrometer-scale resolution and demonstrate its use for in vivo imaging of blood flow in an animal model. Our technique, color Doppler optical coherence tomography (CDOCT), performs spatially localized optical Doppler velocimetry by use of scanning low-coherence interferometry. CDOCT is...

Colour Doppler ultrasound allows simultaneous B scan and Doppler imaging and can be employed to determine the velocity of blood flow in the vasculature of the eye and orbit. We describe a case of cranial arteritis (giant cell arteritis) in which serial velocimetry recordings were obtained. At one stage in the disease process no blood flow was detectable in the orbit despite previously reliable ...
