This practical guide provides comprehensive information on PIV. The fourth edition has been thoroughly updated and extended to cover important new developments.

In this book, readers will find the essential theoretical background needed to support the practical aspects associated with the planning, performance and understanding of experiments using the PIV technique. The book is primarily intended for engineers, scientists and students, who already have some basic knowledge of fluid mechanics and of non-intrusive optical measurement techniques. It will guide researchers and engineers to design and perform their experiment successfully without requiring them to first become specialists in the field. Nonetheless many of the basic properties of PIV are provided as they need to be thoroughly understood before a correct interpretation of the results is possible.
