Flow visualization is the art of making flow patterns visible. Most fluids (air, water, etc.) are transparent, thus their flow patterns are invisible to the naked eye without methods to make them this visible. Historically, such methods included experimental methods.
Image-based flow visualization where a grid image is advected by the flow field. In scientific visualization, image-based flow visualization (or visualisation) is a computer modelling technique developed by Jarke van Wijk [1] to visualize two dimensional flows of liquids such as water and air, like the wind movement of a tornado. Compared with ...
Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a non-intrusive optical flow measurement technique used to study fluid flow patterns and velocities. PIV has found widespread applications in various fields of science and engineering, including aerodynamics, combustion, oceanography, and biofluids.
Figure 3. Effect of a sample on the phase of the output beams in a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. The collimated beam is split by a half-silvered mirror. The two resulting beams (the "sample beam" and the "reference beam") are each reflected by a mirror. The two beams then pass a second half-silvered mirror and enter two detectors.
If the flow is not steady then when the next particle reaches position the flow would have changed and the particle will go in a different direction. This is useful, because it is usually very difficult to look at streamlines in an experiment. If the flow is steady, one can use streaklines to describe the streamline pattern.
For low Reynolds number flows, tunnels can use oil instead of water. The advantage is that the increased viscosity will allow the flow to be a higher speed (and thus easier to maintain in a stable manner) for a lower Reynolds number. Often, a tunnel will be co-located with other experimental facilities such as a wave flume at a Ship model basin.
Sankey diagrams can also visualize the energy accounts, material flow accounts on a regional or national level, and cost breakdowns. [2] The diagrams are often used in the visualization of material flow analysis. Sankey diagrams emphasize the major transfers or flows within a system. They help locate the most important contributions to a flow.
