To improve the convenience of the relaxation based particle tracking velocimetry(RM-PTV)in obtaining the instantaneous flow structure
a centroid Delaunay triangulation(DT)based technique was proposed to determine candidate particles for the target particles in the matching process
and typical self-defined particle images and standard particle images were analyzed to test the validity of the new method. The results show that the centroid DT method can select the candidate particles effectively and conveniently. Moreover
consideration is given to balance accuracy and efficiency
and the previous estimation of the flow field can be avoided
which makes the application of RM-PTV more independent
especially for the complicated flow situation and inexperienced users.
