Description
Summary:Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) has become increasingly popular to study structures in turbulent flows. PIV allows direct extraction and investigation of spatial structures in the given flow field. Increasing temporal resolution of PIV systems allows a more accurate capture of the flow evolution. Despite the very good spatial resolution of PIV, current systems can only match the multiple \(kHz\) sampling rates of hot-wire or Laser Doppler Anemometer (LDA) measurements for a very short period in temporal analyses of flow. In this study, an advection-based approach is presented which uses Taylor's hypothesis of "frozen turbulence" for small scale turbulent patterns. Compared to the underlying raw data a major increase of the temporal resolution for extracted time series is shown. The quality of the presented approach is shown for two-point analyses, which would not be possible with presently known methods. To demonstrate this, different turbulent flow cases behind a fractal grid are studied. For the validation of the results corresponding hot-wire measurements at various positions along the centerline were used.
