Results/Analysis:


Model 1: SHARP-EDGED WEDGE


  1. Results contain 12 consecutive frames captured using e-PIV. Below is a preview of the ani-mation of captured images.


  2. Below are first two frames of the eleven frames from the above animation captured at Δt = 0.03 seconds from t=0 (Image 1) and Δt = 0.03 seconds from t1 (Image 2).
    Image 1 at t1 = 0.03 s

    Image 2 at t2 = 0.06 s

  3. The pairs of images are processed to give velocity field. The processing can be done using an open source PIV tool e.g., PIVlab of Matlab. Each pair of images provides a set of velocity field. A contour of time-averaged velocity magnitude with an overlay of the velocity vector obtained using system software is given below.

Model 2 : STEP


  1. Results contain 21 consecutive frames captured using e-PIV. Below is a preview of the animation of captured images.


  2. Below are first two frames of the twenty one frames from the above animation captured at Δt = 0.03 seconds from t=0 (Image 1) and Δt = 0.03 seconds from t1 (Image 2).
    Image 1 at t1 = 0.03 s

    Image 2 at t2 = 0.06 s
