System for High Resolution 3D Imaging of Non-Spherical Sedimenting Particles

Abstract

Major Goals: This grant funded the purchase of a new four camera imaging system for high resolution tracking ofnon-spherical particles sedimenting in turbulent fluid flows. These new cameras are being used (1) to increase theaccuracy of the measured 3D trajectories and orientations of non-spherical particles and improve the measured solid body rotation rates, (2) to allow measurement of high resolution velocity fields around non-spherical particles along their trajectories using new algorithms for multi-camera image analysis, sometimes called shake the box, (3) to improve the precision of 3D particle arm measurements so that measurements can resolve arm bending by fluid stresses acting on the particles and the rotational acceleration of the particles.
