PIV Background PIV is a proven [11], minimally intrusive, flow visualization and measurement techniquewhich employs a digital imager, a high power laser, laser sheet optics, and a fluid of interestseeded using neutrally buoyant “seeding” particles (Figure 1). In many ways, PIV is uniquelysuited for education in that it allows qualitative and quantitative observation of actual flows inreal time. However, laboratory grade PIV systems are traditionally expensive and requireexperienced users for safe and accurate measurement of flow fields. The high cost of these PIVsystems stems from the individual costs of high
