2D-2C PIV Solutions: Versatile and Cost-Effective

The two-dimensional, two-component (2D-2C) setup is the most common and versatile configuration in Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). By using a single camera, this solution measures the in-plane velocity components within a single light sheet.

Key Advantages for Real-World Applications
2D-2C PIV is the preferred choice for applications where efficiency and accessibility are critical, offering significant advantages:
  • Optimized Costs: As the most basic hardware configuration, 2D-2C minimizes initial investment.
  • Fast Processing: Analyzing images from only one camera drastically reduces processing time, delivering results faster.
  • Practical Implementation: Requires minimal optical access and less adaptation effort, making it ideal for integration into existing industrial or challenging flow situations.
Scalable to your Region of Interest
Our solutions are scalable to match your flow medium and Region of Interest (ROI):
  • Small ROIs (e.g., 100x100mm): A simple LED Pulsed System (LPS) may provide sufficient illumination.
  • Large Areas (e.g., 1x1m): We integrate high-power lasers to ensure the necessary intensity and image quality for expansive flow fields.
2D-2C measurements offer all the quantitative and qualitative flow field information you need with moderate costs and minimal implementation effort. It’s often faster and simpler than you might expect!
