PRIMARY PEAK RATIO CORRELATION TO THE MEASUREMENT ACCURACY OF PIV METHOD

An estimation of a measurement accuracy at each measured point is crucial regarding the applicability of results of the measurements. The aim of this work is to determine the correlation between individual metrics and the measurement accuracy by using corrected metrics of the correlation plane. This work is based on defining a corrected metric using known metrics corrected by the displacement measured in the last iteration, the number of the particles and the velocity gradient inside the interrogation area. The resulting tests are performed using conventional synthetic tests. The discovered dependencies between individual corrected metrics are subsequently approximated in order to determine the measurement accuracy. And, finally, the most suitable variant for the determination of the accuracy of the measurement by the particle image velocimetry method is specified
