Stereoscopic reconstruction of 3D PIV data in T-junction with circular profile
Abstract
In this paper experimental study of flow in T-junction using 3D PIV method is presented. Motion of seeding particles was recorded by a pair of suitably located cameras in precisely defined cross sections of the junction. Based on this information, three-dimensional model of flow in different sections of junction was reconstructed. The reconstruction results from the projection matrixes of each camera, which are obtained from positions of objects in the scene and their projection positions in the image plane. Standard 3D PIV reconstruction was rejected, because of optical distortion in T-Junction.
