Abstract
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) offers many advantages for the study of fluid flows. The PIV has two processes, i.e., the image capture with visualization and the image analysis. In order to evaluate the image analysis system for the PIV, the Japanese PIV Standard Project (JPIV) proposed the standard images for PIV. In this study, the new PIV standard images are proposed for the three-components vector measurement in the two-dimensional cross section visualized by laser sheet. Using the images, the evaluation of the effectiveness and accuracy for the PIV system will be carried out. The developed PIV standard images are distributed using the Internet, (http://www.vsj.or.jp/piv/) and CD-R.
