The article on cross-correlation has been moved to cross-covariance. Please check the article to see if the present links are correct. PAR 9 July 2005 15:08 (UTC)

This article needs some major expansion on numerous fronts. Techniques that should be added or expanded: stereoscopic piv dual-plane stereoscopic piv micropiv

Equipment should be expanded on to include some mention of the optics and lasers utilized. Software and analysis techniques should also be mentioned to complete the entry. I do have experience in the field but haven't done large edits before. So if you see a formatting error please point it out. Iron Engineer (talk) 03:14, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All of the editing by 192.12.88.2 was done by myself before I logged on. Well I just finished a good bit of editing. I haven't had a chance to go through and do all the tagging and referencing yet since work calls but I am extremely confident in the scientific factual basis of everything stated in here. The referencing can pretty much be all made to the book "Particle Imaging Velocimetry A practical guide" by Raffel, Willert, Wereley and Kompenhans if someone can add it. Also, not sure how to exactly do that as it all can be found in numerous scientific journals, databases, etc. but is so conveniently placed all in that one book.

I've removed the short entry about MTV because it is not a particle-based velocimetry technique. At most, a link should be provided to another page. MTV is perfectly alive and well, but this page needs to discuss only particle based techniques. The full scope of optical velocimetery would be a much larger article.

Everything else, please post on discussion page before editing critical information as I am positive what I have said can be completely defended but am open to solid arguments. I won't be pigheaded about it.

Sigh would like to add pictures but am unsure how... if anyone could add some pics it would improve the article. Iron Engineer (talk) 03:37, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Much of the references need some work. I believe that references 1-4 be taken down, and inclusion of mainstream articles be included. I agree with Raffel et al, (1998 or 2007). The papers/references to be included (in chronological order) that have shaped PIV (as follows):

• • much of the first papers cover the basics ...

Adrian, 1991, Particle-imaging techniques for experimental fluid mechanics, Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics Willert and Gharib, 1992, Digital particle image velocimetry, Experiments in Fluids Keane and Adrian, 1992, Theory of cross-correlation analysis in PIV, Meas. Sci. Technol, (good paper - heavily cited) Westerweel, 1994, Efficient detection of spurious vectors, Exp. Fluids, Santiago et al, 1998, A micro particle image velocimetry system, Exp. Fluids (first paper on micro-PIV) Wereley and Meinhart, 2010, Recent advances in Micro-Particle Image Velocimetry, Ann. Rev. Fl. Mech, (very new paper) Fouras et al, 2007, Three-dimensional synchrotron x-ray particle image velocimetry, Journal of Applied Physics (a good paper on X-ray PIV)

Any ideas? Cheers! Crsam2 (talk) 00:05, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, everyone. I am about to post an update to this page to expand the MicroPIV section and include a time resolved section on the same topic. I have an interesting question though. I want to cite papers on the topic, but some of the papers I want to cite were written by myself, as I am an active researcher in the field. I don't really get how this would work with Wikipedia: original research guidelines. They are published in scientific journals of good standing, but it is my own research. Guidance on that issue would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.151.130.136 (talk) 05:17, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Go right ahead - as I understand it, WP:OR policy says any statement on WP should be directly found in a source, rather than "based on" or "inferred from" the source. There's no prohibition on citing yourself (I've done it myself many times), and I always encourage other academics and researchers to come to WP and add the results of their published papers to the appropriate articles, since I strongly feel that doing so is good for both parties (outreach + article improvement and expert attention).
