EUROPIV 2 (Project). Workshop

This book contains papers presented at a workshop, jointly organized by the EUROPIV 2 project, the PivNet 2 Thematic Network, and the ERCOFTAC Spe­ cial Interest Group on PIV (SIG 32). EUROPIV 2 was a research program, funded by the European Community which started in April 2000 and ended in June 2003. The aim of this project was to develop and demonstrate the Particle Image Velocimetry technique (PIV), which allows to measure the velocity of large flow fields instantaneously, in order to make it available as an operational tool for the European aeronautical industry. A total of 17 teams from 5 different countries cooperated during these 3 years to im­ prove the method, both hardware and software, and to demonstrate its capabilities in large industrial wind tunnels. PivNet 2 is a European thematic network devoted to the transfer of the PIV technique to IndUStry. It has started in April 2002 for four years. It is coordinated by Dr J. Kompenhans from DLR Gottingen. Details on PivNnet 2 can be found at http://pivnet.sm.go.dlr.de. ERCOFTAC (European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence and Com­ bustion) is an international association with the aim to promote research and coop­ eration in Europe on fluid flows, turbulence and combustion.
