H41 Laser PIV System
The H41 uses particle image velocimetry (PIV) to measure, non-intrusively, fluid velocities at multiple points in a flow, at a rate of up to 16Hz. The compact and portable hardware (which uses a safe, non-pulsed, Class 3b laser) and the extremely easy to use software with real time display, make this an ideal tool for undergraduate teaching and demonstration.
With its sophisticated multi-pass processing, the H41 matches the performance of higher power PIV systems costing several times more. It is therefore also an ideal, cost-effective tool for experimental fluid dynamics research.
The intuitive software provides a wide range of processing, display and recording functions for both velocity and derived statistical data, using a standard pc.
