Discover the potential of LaVision flow measurement systems

The course is focused on volumetric flow measurements as performed using 3D Lagrangian Particle Tracking (LPT) using the state-of-the-art Shake-the-Box (STB) algorithms. 
The three-day course will include comprehensive lectures covering all main aspects of the STB measurement workflow including details on the extension to Object-Aware Shake-The-Box (OA-STB). Advanced concepts, such as Pressure Estimation, Data Assimilation, Uncertainty Quantification and post-processing tools will also be discussed. Furthermore, invited speakers will present state-of-the-art research using PIV/LPT techniques.

The course will include lectures on the topics introduced above and hands-on sessions with experienced LaVision engineers and TU Delft researchers, that will allow participants to discover the potential of STB and OA-STB flow measurement systems and to conduct experiments in the Open-Jet Facility (OJF) at TU Delft.
