PIV Laboratory | Precision Flow Measurement with Advanced Technology

Introduction

آزمایشگاه PIV یا Particle Image Velocimetry یکی از پیشرفته‌ترین تکنیک‌های اندازه‌گیری سرعت و بردار جریان سیال در تحقیقات مهندسی و آزمایشگاهی است. This technology uses fine particle tracking and laser imaging to enable precise observation and analysis of fluid behavior. Due to its high accuracy, reasonable processing speed, and ability to measure complex flows, PIV technology is today used as a key tool in the aerospace, automotive, mechanical engineering, energy, and marine science industries.

High temperature: Simulation of temperatures exceeding 800–1000°C for optimal performance.

High pressure: Testing at high pressures to ensure component durability.

Dynamic conditions: Rapid changes in engine speed and gas flow.

What Is a PIV Laboratory and How Does It Work?

In the PIV laboratory, fluid flow is imaged by injecting very fine particles and illuminating them with laser light. The speed and direction of the particles are then calculated by analyzing the images over very short time intervals.
The main principles of operation of this technology are:

  • Laser sheet irradiation on the flow medium.

  • Recording images with high-speed cameras.

  • Algorithmic processing of images to extract velocity fields.

  • Presenting results in the form of vector and contour maps.

Because the method is non-intrusive, highly accurate, and capable of capturing 2D and 3D flow fields, it is considered one of the most powerful modern techniques for fluid dynamics research.

Implementing PIV technology in engineering studies and industrial testing offers several key advantages:

  • Accurate velocity measurement across the entire flow field.

  • Suitable for transient, turbulent and laminar flows.

  • Ability to analyze complex flows in channels, nozzles, and around objects.

  • Without interfering with the flow (Non-Intrusive).

  • Ability to provide reliable data for CFD simulation.

Industries and researchers especially value PIV laboratories when high-quality experimental data is required to verify numerical simulations.

Applications of PIV Laboratories

  • Aerodynamic and hydrodynamic tests.

  • Investigating flow behavior in pumps, turbines, and compressors.
