A three-dimensional (3D) scanning velocimetry system is developed to quantify the 3D configurations of particles and their surrounding volumetric, three-component velocity fields. The approach uses a translating laser sheet to rapidly scan through a volume of interest and sequentially illuminate slices of the flow containing both tracers seeded in the fluid and particles comprising the aggregation of interest. These image slices are captured by a single high-speed camera, encoding information about the third spatial dimension within the image time-series. Where previous implementations of scanning systems have been developed for either volumetric flow quantification or 3D object reconstruction, we evaluate the feasibility of accomplishing these tasks concurrently with a single-camera, which can streamline data collection and analysis. The capability of the system was characterized using a study of induced vertical migrations of millimeter-scale brine shrimp (Artemia salina). Identification and reconstruction of individual swimmer bodies and 3D trajectories within the migrating aggregation were achieved up to the maximum number density studied presently, $8 , times,10^5$ animals per $textrm{m}^3$. This number density is comparable to the densities of previous depth-averaged 2D measurements of similar migrations. Corresponding velocity measurements of the flow indicate that the technique is capable of resolving the 3D velocity field in and around the swimming aggregation. At these animal number densities, instances of coherent flow induced by the migrations were observed. The accuracy of these flow measurements was confirmed in separate studies of a free jet at $Re_D = 50$.

Uncertainty quantification for Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is critical for comparing flow fields with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results, and model design and validation. However, PIV features a complex measurement chain with coupled, no n-linear error sources, and quantifying the uncertainty is challenging. Multiple assessments show that none of the current methods can reliably measure the actual uncertainty across a wide range of experiments. Because the current methods differ in assumptions regarding the measurement process and calculation procedures, it is not clear which method is best to use for an experiment. To address this issue, we propose a method to estimate an uncertainty methods sensitivity and reliability, termed the Meta-Uncertainty. The novel approach is automated, local, and instantaneous, and based on perturbation of the recorded particle images. We developed an image perturbation scheme based on adding random unmatched particles to the interrogation window pair considering the signal-to-noise (SNR) of the correlation plane. Each uncertainty schemes response to several trials of random particle addition is used to estimate a reliability metric, defined as the rate of change of the inter-quartile range (IQR) of the uncertainties with increasing levels of particle addition. We also propose applying the meta-uncertainty as a weighting metric to combine uncertainty estimates from individual schemes, based on ideas from the consensus forecasting literature. We use PIV measurements across a range of canonical flows to assess the performance of the uncertainty schemes.The results show that the combined uncertainty method outperforms the individual methods, and establish the meta-uncertainty as a useful reliability assessment tool for PIV uncertainty quantification.
We present a new particle image correlation technique for resolving nanoparticle flow velocity using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The two primary issues that complicate nanoparticle scanning laser image correlation (SLIC) based velocime try are (1) the use of diffusion dominated nanoparticles as flow tracers, which introduce a random decorrelating error into the velocity estimate, and (2) the effects of the scanning laser image acquisition, which introduces a bias error. To date, no study has quantified these errors or demonstrated a means to deal with them in SLIC velocimetry. In this work, we build upon the robust phase correlation (RPC) and existing methods of SLIC to quantify and mitigate these errors. First, we implement an ensemble RPC instead of using an ensemble standard cross correlation, and develop an SLIC optimal filter that maximizes the correlation strength in order to reliably and accurately detect the correlation peak representing the most probable average displacement of the nanoparticles. Secondly, we developed an analytical model of the SLIC measurement bias error due to image scanning of diffusion dominated tracer particles. We show that the bias error depends only on the ratio of the mean velocity of the tracer particles to that of the laser scanner and we use this model to correct the induced errors. We validated our technique using synthetic images and experimentally obtained SLIC images of nanoparticle flow through a micro-channel. Our technique reduced the error by up to a factor of ten compared to other SLIC algorithms for the images tested in this study. Moreover, our optimized RPC filter is reducing the number of image pairs required for the convergence of the ensemble correlation by two orders of magnitude compared to the standard cross correlation.
Three-dimensional particle tracking velocimetry (3D-PTV) technique is widely used to acquire the complicated trajectories of particles and flow fields. It is known that the accuracy of 3D-PTV depends on the mapping function to reconstruct three-dimen sional particles locations. The mapping function becomes more complicated if the number of cameras is increased and there is a liquid-vapor interface, which crucially affect the total computation time. In this paper, using a shallow neural network model (SNN), we dramatically decrease the computation time with a high accuracy to successfully reconstruct the three-dimensional particle positions, which can be used for real-time particle detection for 3D-PTV. The developed technique is verified by numerical simulations and applied to measure a complex solutal Marangoni flow patterns inside a binary mixture droplet.
We investigate the ability of 4D Particle Tracking Velocimetry measurements at high particle density to explore intermittency and irreversibility in a turbulent swirling flow at various Reynolds numbers. For this, we devise suitable tools to remove t he experimental noise, and compute the statistics of both Lagrangian velocity increments and wavelet coefficients of the Lagrangian power (the time derivative of the kinetic energy along a trajectory). We show that the signature of noise is strongest on short trajectories, and results in deviations from the regularity condition at small time scales. Considering only long trajectories to get rid of such effect, we obtain scaling regimes that are compatible with a reduced intermittency, meaning that long trajectories are also associated with areas of larger regularity. The scaling laws, both in time and Reynolds number, can be described by the multifractal model, with a log-normal spectrum and an intermittency parameter that is three times smaller than in the Eulerian case, where all the areas of the flow are taken into account.
The radial relative velocity between particles suspended in turbulent flow plays a critical role in droplet collision and growth. We present a simple and accurate approach to RV measurement in isotropic turbulence - planar 4-frame particle tracking v elocimetry - using routine PIV hardware. This study demonstrates the feasibility of accurately measuring RV using routine hardware and verifies, for the first time, the path-history and inertial filtering effects on particle-pair RV at large particle separations experimentally.
