Abstract
In order to measure three-dimensional flows in large atmospheric space, we have developed a new PIV system based on Multi-layer Color PIV. This new system allows us to determine the six-layer three-dimensional velocity vector fields at a given frame rate just using a single camera view by color coded volumetric projection of light. In this paper, we developed the prototype system, and verified it by simulation of artificial 3D smoke. This system estimates the six-layer two components velocity field in three-dimensional vector field. As the result of verification, reconstructed layers and determined vectors have high correlation value with theoretic image and vector field, around the center of measurement volume. On the other hand, two problems were found. One is a fragility of pattern matching system for strong velocity gradient field. The other is increase of layer reconstruction error against low luminance pixels.
