Volumetric Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) non-invasively measures the 3D velocity field by recording successive snapshots of the tracer particle motion using a multi-camera set-up. A key step in the measurement chain is reconstructing the 3D particle location using the multi-camera projected particle images. However, the...

Autoinjectors are drug delivery medical devices for self-administered injection of biopharmaceuticals. Even though the working principle of single-spring-actuated autoinjectors is similar, differences in device design can affect the functionality and performance. From an engineering point of view, this study investigates the performance differences of two...

PIV uncertainty quantification is important for comparison with CFD simulations and engineering design, but is challenging due to the complex non-linear measurement chain which involves a large number of parameters. Multiple assessments show that none of the current methods can reliably predict the actual uncertainty...

We propose an improved density integration methodology for Background Oriented Schlieren (BOS) measurements that overcomes the noise sensitivity of the commonly used Poisson solver. The method employs a weighted least-squares (WLS) optimization of the 2D integration of the density gradient field by solving an over-determined...

We present an uncertainty quantification methodology for density estimation from Background-Oriented Schlieren (BOS) measurements, in order to provide local, instantaneous, a posteriori uncertainty bounds on each density measurement in the field of view. Displacement uncertainty quantification algorithms from cross-correlation-based particle image velocimetry are used to...
