Abstract
High-speed dual-plane stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (DP-s-PIV) can capture time-resolved three-component velocity and vorticity vectors in the measurement region, but its spatial resolvability of tiny vortices is blocked by the intrinsic limitation of the cross-correlation evaluation. To overcome this limitation, we propose a scheme to extend the original two-component optical-flow enhanced hybrid PIV method to DP-s-PIV through 3D reconstruction, with its feasibility and resolvability validated through comparison with the cross-correlation evaluation used in DaVis 8.4. The comparisons suggest that the optical-flow enhanced hybrid PIV scheme can greatly improve the spatial resolvability of the velocity field for DP-s-PIV. Moreover, the hybrid scheme can also provide better visualization of vortical structures and enhanced precision in evaluating the vorticity distribution, allowing for further identification of vortex types in a stratified swirling jet flow through the combined criteria (vorticity component and Q criterion).
