Buoyant Plume Gallery

Phase locked 2-D and stereo PIV measurements in puffing rectangular buoyant plumes.
The publication aims at investigating the flow field of a puffing buoyant plume emanating from rectangular orifices of low aspect ratios. It used Microvec 2D and Stereo PIV systems with two 8 megapixel cameras.
