XXIII AIVELA (the Italian Association of Laser Velocimetry and non invasive diagnostics) Annual Meeting 2015

Abstract

EDITORIALA.I.VE.LA. – the Italian Association of Laser Velocimetry and non-invasive diagnostics is a non-profit cultural association whose objective is to promote and support research in the field of non-contact or minimally invasive measurement techniques, particularly of electromagnetic-based techniques and optical techniques.Through its Annual Meeting, AIVELA aims at creating an active and stimulating forum where current research results and technical advances can be exchanged and the development of new systems for laboratory use, field testing and industrial application can be promoted. The techniques covered include Laser Doppler Anemometry – LDA, Phase Doppler Anemometry – PDA, Image Velocimetry – PIV, Flow visualization techniques, Spectroscopic measurement techniques (LIF, Raman, etc.), Laser Doppler Vibrometry – LDV, Speckle Pattern Interferometry – ESPI, Holographic techniques, Shearography, Digital Image Correlation – DIC, Moiré techniques, Structured light techniques, Infrared imaging, Photoelasticity, Image based measurement techniques, Ultrasonic sensing, Acoustic and Aeroacoustic measurements, etc.The first Annual Meeting was held back in October 1992 and since then the event has met large consensus among the research and scientific communities worldwide for the high scientific interest of the papers presented.The XXIII AIVELA Annual Meeting was held at the premises of TUCEP- Tiber Umbria Comett Education Programme on 12-13 November 2015 and was organised in collaboration with the University of Perugia and TUCEP.This volume contains a selection of the papers presented at the event.The detailed Programme of the Meeting can be found at:http://www.aivela.org/XXIII_Convegno/index.htmlTrusting our Association and its initiatives will meet your interest, I wish to thank you in advance for your kind attention and hope to meet you soon at one of our events.EDITOREnrico Primo TomasiniPresident of A.I.VE.LA.
