Silicone-Based Molding Technique for Optical Flow Analysis in Transparent Models of Fluidic Components

Optical flow analysis methods such as particle image velocimetry can only be performed in fluid systems or components with optical access. Many fluidic components, such as metallic tubes, do not typically feature optical accessibility. A new silicone-based molding technique is presented that makes i...
