Holographic Particle Image Velocimetry

“Holographic Particle Image velocimetry”
is a technique that measures the instantaneous three-dimensional (3D) velocity field of fluid flows in a
volume using holography. The 3D information of flow particles -seeded or inherent in the flow- is recorded
on a hologram instantaneously using two or more short laser pulses. The reconstructed 3D-image field contains
information about the 3D positions, size and shape of the particles. By finding the 3D displacements of particles in the
image volume between two exposures separated by a short time lapse, an instantaneous, volumetric 3D velocity field can be
retrieved. HPIV can measure velocities with accuracy within a few percent and spatial resolution ~1mm. The HPIV process consists of three steps: recording the hologram, reconstructing the object field from the recording, and interrogating the reconstructed field. During recording, an ‘object’ wave (light scattered from the particles) is combined on a holographic plate with a reference wave (unscattered) to produce an optical interference pattern. During reconstruction, the re-introduction of the reference wave on the hologram reconstructs the object wave in the 3D space. The reconstructed 3D image can then be interrogated, typically scanning it with a video camera, in order to retrieve particle information. When applied in conjunction with cinematography, both time- and space-resolved measurements can be obtained. HPIV is now a diagnostic tool accepted for interrogating and extracting 3D information from particle fields and multiphase flows. Yet, holography systems are not produced in a commercially available form due to the complexity and variety of systems needed for different applications. Customized designs are usually tailored to specific applications.
