Particle image velocimetry in a foam-like porous structure using refractive index matching: a method to characterize the hydrodynamic performance of porous structures

We present a method to measure two-dimensional velocity fields inside an artificial foam-like porous structure using particle image velocimetry and a refractive index matching technique to avoid optical distortion. The porous structure is manufactured by stereolithography with the epoxy resin WaterS...
