What is being bought

Published requirement description

The School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering (ABC) have a requirement for a 3D time-resolving particle tracking velocimetry system to obtain 360-degree volumetric flow measurements around complex obstacles.

The system requires capability to capture fluid interactions with dynamic and deformable structures (e.g. wind turbines, swimming humans/animals and vegetation), integrating structural kinematics and flow calculation.

It needs to be an LED-based system to allow flexible use in open laboratories (i.e. no lasers), with the ability to apply to experiments in both air and water, with approximate range of cubic measurement volume of length = 0.05 m – 0.3 m

Published justification

The LaVision Object Aware Particle Tracking Velocimetry (OA PTV) is a globally unique solution for flow-structure interaction.

LaVision OA PTV integrates structures directly into data acquisition - this provides globally unique capability flow around moving and deforming structures. This is the only system with such an integrated capability in 3D PTV flow calculations.

This functionality is essential for the research and work planned.
