Bibliography of Particle Image Velocimetry Using Imaging Methods: 1917–1995

Kurzfassung

Today Particle Image Velocimetry, a technique that enables the quantitative visualization of instantaneous flow fields, has become widely spread and differentiated into many distinct applications ranging from micro flows to combustion and supersonic flows, both for research and industrial needs. This was made possible mainly by technological progress in video techniques, lasers and the development of sophisticated evaluation algorithms, having been started by a few researchers in the 1980s. At that time only printed versions of research papers were available. In 1990 Ronald J Adrian started to collect a list of references on PIV, an activity which he continued until 1995, when the number of accessible publications of PIV approached the amount of 200 per year.
