Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) position and velocity information can be extracted by directly analysing the scattering patterns in velocimetry imaging of seeding particles using real-time CCD cameras. A Fraunhöfer diffraction simplification of generalised Lorenz–Mie theory is shown to yield a representative model of particle position, such that particle position can be approximately deduced from typical experimental particle images. Data are obtained by pattern-matching theoretical to experimental images using a Nelder–Mead algorithm, subject to digitisation considerations and the concept of “locales”. In this way, information about the characteristics of positional error as a function of magnification, pixel size, intensity resolution, and spatial resolution can be derived. This work shows that an optimum magnification exists, beneath which error begins to increase drastically. A practical application is demonstrated. The theory, simulations and experimental verification of this basic problem are discussed.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
