Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Stereoscopic particle tracking velocimetry (SPTV) was used to analyze a turbulent submerged jet of Reynolds number (based on the diameter of the nozzle) 8000. SPTV involves tracking the motion of tracer particles over time in a flow in three dimensions. The first part of this work consisted of developing a stereoscopic particle tracking technique using two high-speed video cameras. This included calibration of the cameras with "known" points, and developing an algorithm to automatically match and track particles. The second part was to apply the same to a submerged water jet in order to measure velocities. The velocities were subsequently …
