Tomographic long-distance microPIV to investigate the small scales of turbulence in a jet at high Reynolds number

Abstract

The small scales of turbulence in a high-Reynolds-number jet ($R{e}_{\lambda }\approx 350$) are investigated with a \textmu PIV setup to overcome the optical limitations of conventional tomographic PIV setups. With the aim of validating the performances of tomographic long-distance \textmu PIV, analyses are carried out involving statistical aspects of the small scales of turbulence. The technique is assessed and the data are bench-marked to be applied to the analysis of any three dimensional small-scale phenomena in large-scale flow domains.
