Particle Image Velocimetry, a non-intrusive optical method for measuring fluid velocity fields. It involves illuminating a flow seeded with tracer particles and capturing images at short time intervals. The displacement of particles between images is then analyzed to determine the velocity vectors, providing instantaneous flow patterns.
