Abstract

A 4D-PTV system was constructed. The measurement system consists of three high-speed high-definition cameras, Nd-Yag laser and a host computer. The GA-3D-PTV algorithm was used for completing the measurement system. A horizontal impinged jet flow was measured. The Reynolds number is about 40,000. Spatial temporal evolution of the jet flow was examined and physical properties such as spatial distributions of vorticity and turbulent kinetic energy were obtained with the constructed system.
