Abstract
PIV methods coupled with smoke wire techniques have been studied. The wire arrangements of these methods were perpendicular to the wind tunnel flow until now, however in our new proposal, the arrangements are parallel to the main flow direction of wind tunnel. The former wind speed, which was available to the flow observation, had been restricted only 0〜4.0 m/s. But, according to our new method, the maximum wind speed was ranging 40 m/s with 1 second duration time of smoke, which is available to the image captures by high speed camera of 20000 fps. The increase of wake turbulence behind these wires were measured by PIV method itself. We showed some examples of stream line measurements behind spinning golf balls and baseball balls under 40 m/s wind speed.
