Abstract
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become a widely available computational resource for real-time image processing and can be used in time-critical optical process measurements. In this study, we investigate the applicability of the spatial filtering technique for time-resolved velocity field determination, on the example of a simple water tunnel flow. For this, the spatial filtering technique was implemented for a custom FPGA platform and analyzed regarding the effect of spatial and temporal resolution on the accuracy of the results. It was possible to prove the algorithm as suitable for velocity field estimation and identify algorithm parameters, which allow for increasing the accuracy of the results.
期刊介绍:
Experiments in Fluids examines the advancement, extension, and improvement of new techniques of flow measurement. The journal also publishes contributions that employ existing experimental techniques to gain an understanding of the underlying flow physics in the areas of turbulence, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, convective heat transfer, combustion, turbomachinery, multi-phase flows, and chemical, biological and geological flows. In addition, readers will find papers that report on investigations combining experimental and analytical/numerical approaches.
