4 Multiplane Stereo Particle Image Velocimetry<br />

by a vanishing (or not resolvable) displacement variation, peak-looking effects (introduced by<br />

<strong>the</strong> under-sampled particle images and amplified due to <strong>the</strong> peak-fit <strong>for</strong> sub-pixel accuracy in<br />

<strong>the</strong> correlation plane [105]) become dominant and may lead to misinterpretation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> data. In<br />

order to avoid any artificial s<strong>of</strong>tware based solutions which require a priory knowledge and are<br />

not based on physical grounds, <strong>the</strong> magnification <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> imaging system needs to be changed<br />

such that small variations in <strong>the</strong> object plane yield resolvable variations in <strong>the</strong> image plane.<br />

Using <strong>the</strong> multiplane technique, this problem can be solved without reducing <strong>the</strong> field <strong>of</strong> view<br />

by rearranging <strong>the</strong> linearly orthogonally polarised light-sheets in an appropriate way as shown<br />

in figure 4.7. In <strong>the</strong> case <strong>of</strong> a strongly varying out-<strong>of</strong>-plane component in only one direction<br />

(main <strong>flow</strong> perpendicular to <strong>the</strong> light-sheet along n ), all four light-sheets should be separated<br />

(not necessarily equally spaced) as shown in figure 4.7. This can be easily per<strong>for</strong>med by rotating<br />

mirrors 8a and 8b in figure 4.2 or 4.3 slightly in opposite directions and mirror 8c in one<br />

direction.<br />

<strong>The</strong> advantage <strong>of</strong> this light-sheet positioning lies in <strong>the</strong> ability to determine three different<br />

time scales or three different length scales nearly independently <strong>for</strong> a given time delay or<br />

pulse sequence. <strong>The</strong> result is a set <strong>of</strong> three different displacement fields – by correlating <strong>the</strong><br />

first acquired grey-level distribution <strong>of</strong> a sequence with each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> following single exposed<br />

fields – from which one optimised displacement field can be calculated by comparing <strong>the</strong><br />

correlation coefficients <strong>for</strong> each location ( <br />

) in all three displacement fields. This technique<br />

õ<br />

can be seen as an extension <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> well known multi-pass interrogation technique into <strong>the</strong> third<br />

dimension. For example let all particles selected during <strong>the</strong><br />

first exposure at move in positive<br />

( ( (<br />

as both light-sheets possess <strong>the</strong> same state <strong>of</strong> polarisation) a correlation between <strong>the</strong> grey level<br />

distribution from <strong>the</strong> 1st exposure with <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs gives a high correlation coefficient in regions<br />

where <strong>the</strong> particle displacement matches <strong>the</strong> light-sheet displacement. In <strong>the</strong> case <strong>of</strong> ( çè<br />
