Micro-resolution Particle Image Velocimetry(Micro-PIV) was used to measure the flow in a micro-branch(Micro-Bypass). In this paper, effects of particle lump at the tip of a Micro-branch and difficulties of Micro-PIV measurements for microfluidics with branch passage were described. Micro-bypass was composed of a straight channel(200(100)${\mu}$m width ${\times}$ 80${\mu}$m height) and two branches which has 100(50)${\mu}$m width ${\times}$ 80${\mu}$m height. One of branches was straight and the other was curved. Experiments were performed at three regions along streamwise direction(entrance, middle and exit of branch) and five planes along vertical direction (0, ${\pm}$10, ${\pm}$20 ${\mu}$m) for the range of Re=0.24, 1.2, 2.4. Numerical simulation was done to compare with the measurements and understand the effects of particle lump at the tip of branch. And another fluid(3% poly vinyl Alcohol aqueous solution) were adapted for this study, so there were no particle sticking. In this case, we could get velocity difference between straight and curved branches.

Comprehensive measurements for velocity and temperature fields have been conducted. A Micro PIV 2-color LIF system have been setup to measure the buoyancy driven fields in a 1-mm heated channel with low Grashof-Prandtl numbers [$86]. Fluorescence microscopy is combined with an MPIV system to obtain enough intensity images and clear pictures from nano-scale fluorescence particles. The spatial resolution of the Micro PIV system is $75{\mu}m\;by\;67{\mu}m$ and error due to Brownian motion is estimated $1.05\%$. Temperature measurements have achieved the $4.7\;{\mu}m$ spatial resolution with relatively large data uncertainties the present experiment. The measurement uncertainties have been decreased down to less than ${\pm}1.0^{\circ}C$ when measurement resolution is equivalent to $76\;{\mu}m$. Measured velocity and temperature fields will be compared with numerical results to examine the feasibility of development as a diagnostic technique.

Electro-osmotic flow in a PDMS microchannel of $66{\mu}m\;\times\;200{\mu}m\;\times\;3cm$ has been investigated using a micro PIV system. The field of view was $1056{\mu}m\;\times\;200{\mu}m$ and instantaneous velocity fields were obtained using two-frame cross-correlation method with $64\;\times\;64\;pixels^2$ interrogation window. In this study, we focused on the effect of applied electric field on the variation of internal flow with varying the electric field and seeding particles. The electro-osmotic flow shows a flat velocity profile and the mean velocity is proportional to the applied electric field.

A custom micro-PIV optics assembly has been used to measure the flow field inside a T-shaped microchannel. The micro-PIV system consists of microscope objectives of various magnifications, a dichroic cube, and an 8-bit CCD camera. Fluorescent particles of diameters 620nm have been used with a Nd:YAG laser and color filters. A programmable syringe pump with Teflon tubings were used to inject particle-seeded distilled water into the channel at flow rates of $420,\;40,\;60{\mu}L/hr$. The microchannels are fabricated with PDMS with a silicon mold, then $O_2-ion$ bonded onto a slide glass. Results show differences in flow characteristics and resolution according to fluid injection rates, and magnifications, respectively. The results show PIV results with vector-to-vector distances of $2{\mu}m$ with 32 pixel-square interrogation windows at $50{\%}$ overlap.

The improvement of artificial respiration method has brought about the decrease in mortality of pulmonary diseases patients. Various respiratory curative methods, inclusive of HFOV (High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation), have been developed for more effectual and less harmful management of acute respiratory failure. However, the mechanism of gas transfer and diffusion in a bronchiole has not yet been clarified in detail. As a first approach to the problem, we measured oscillatory flows in a Y-shaped micro-channels as bronchiole model by micro Particle Image Velocimetry(micro PIV). In order to establish the fundamental technique of PIV measurements on oscillatory air flow in a micro-channel, we used about 500-nm-diameter incense smoke particles, a diode laser, a high speed camera including an objective lens, and a HFOV, which is effective technique for medical care of pulmonary disease patients, especially, infants. The bronchiole model size is that parent tube is $500\{mu}m$ width and $500\{mu}m$ depth, and daughter tubes are $450\{mu}m$ width and $500\{mu}m$ depth. From this study made on the phenomenon of fluid in micro size bronchus branch of a lung, we succeeded to get time series velocity distribution in a micro scale bronchial mode. The experimental results of velocity distribution changing with time obtained by micro PIV can give fundamental knowledge on oscillatory airflow in micro-channel.

The present work aims at visualization of the supersonic air jet flows discharged from C-D nozzles. In the present experiments, Prticle Image Velocimetry (PIV) was employed to specify the jet flow field quantitatively, and a color Schlieren optical method was applied to observe the same jets qualitatively. The $0.5{\mu}s$ duration of spark light source was used for Schlieren and it can be controled as $0.5{\mu}s$, $1{\mu}s$, $2{\mu}s$ and focusing mode. The convergent-divergent nozzles were used to generate the jet flow with the design Mach number of 2.0, 2.2. Nozzle pressure ratios (NPRs) were varied from 5 to 8. A good comparison of the jet size and shock location from the Schlieren images with the PIV quantitative values is obtained. The obtained images clearly showed the major features of the under-expanded jet, over-expanded jet, sound wave, turbulent eddies and so on.

A new micro-resolution PIV (Particle Image. Velocimetry) has been developed. To investigate transient phenomena in a microfluidic device, Dynamic micro-PIV system was realized by combining a high-speed camera and a CW(Continuous Wave) laser. The technique was applied to a micro-counter-current flow, consisting of water and butyl acetate. The velocity fields of water in the micro counter-current flow were visualized for a time resolution of 500 $\{mu}s$ and a spatial resolution of 2.2 x 2.2 $\{mu}m$. Using the Dynamic micro-PIV technique, the vortex-like motions of fluorescent particles at the water-butyl acetate interface were captured clearly

캐비테이션 현상은 고 유속 환경에서 발생(inception), 성장(growth), 붕괴(collapse) 및 소멸(disappearance) 과정이 반복적으로 일어나며 그 과정에서 기포붕괴에 따른 큰 충격압력을 방지하려는 분야와 이를 능동적으로 산업분야에 적용하려는 분야로 크게 대별된다. 본 연구에서는 캐비테이션의 붕괴거동을 수중 초음파 진동자에서 미세기포를 발생시켜 PIV기법을 이용하여 유동장을 계측하였다. 초음파 진동자는 직경 16 mm이며, 진동주파수는 20 kHz, 진폭은 $5{\mu}m$, $10{\mu}m$, $30{\mu}m$ 및 $50{\mu}m$를 각각 적용하였다. 유동구조, 난류강도, 레이놀즈 응력에 대한 통계적 유동정보를 계측한 결과 충격압력의 원인으로 알려진 캐비티 붕괴로 인해 유동특성을 확인하였다.
