Particle Tracking Velocimetry Algorithms Based on Voronoi Diagram and Their Applications in the Flows with Large Velocity Gradient
To provide an alternative to the classic particle tracking velocimetry(PTV)algorithms with excessive preset parameters and incapability of tackling large velocity gradient flow field
this paper proposes PTV algorithms based on Voronoi diagram(VD)for 2D and 3D flows. The 2D algorithm converts the particle clusters into compact polygons
and matches the particles by comparing the similarity of polygonal characteristic curves. The 3D algorithm applies the Delaunay tessellation
i.e.
dual VD
to convert the particles into non-overlapping tetrahedrons
where particles are matched through a special voting process based on the comparison of similarity among involved tetrahedrons. An artificial flow is used to confirm the satisfactory accuracy of the new 2D algorithm. Finally
experiments for a 2D pulsation flow and a 3D wake flow around a rigid body are carried out
by which the applicability of the newly developed PTV algorithms is tested. The result shows that the algorithms are robust in reconstructing large velocity gradient flow field with a simple presetting of controlling parameters.
