Abstract

This study investigates the flow visualization using PIV technique. It is tried to indigenously develop PIV technique with the help of low power laser, ordinary camera, and available tracer particles. PIV results are obtained with the help of some open software. Flow patterns of water containing tracer particles are studied. Flows are induced by magnetic stirrer and rotor. Flow visualization study is very useful in finding velocity profiles of different flows. Instantaneous vector maps of flow field and calibration of velocities are presented. Further studies are under consideration in PIEAS to develop the mature PIV technique.
