Abstract
Influences of evaluation bias of the correlation-based interrogation algorithm on particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurement of turbulent flow are investigated. Experimental tests in the Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research towing tank with a towed PIV system and a surface-piercing flat plate and simulations demonstrate that the experimentally determined mean velocity and Reynolds stress components are affected by the evaluation bias and the gradient of the evaluation bias, respectively. The evaluation bias and gradient of the evaluation bias can both be minimized effectively by using Gaussian digital masks on the interrogation window, so that the measurement uncertainty can be reduced.
