Velocity and turbulence measurements: uncertainty in the application of the Image-based technique

摘要

This work focuses on the application of image-based technique to estimate velocity and turbulent flow characteristics. In particular, in the present work digital imaging technique is used for performing surface velocity measurements of hyper-concentrated flows. The analysis is conducted with the aid of data collected in a scale laboratory flume constructed at the Hydraulic laboratory of the Department of Civil, Environmental, Aerospatial and of Materials Engineering (DICAM) - University of Palermo (Italy). In the present paper a brief summary of results obtained in previous works on the flow velocity estimation error and uncertainty related to the acquisition procedure is reported.
