Third Edition (2018)

The book Particle Image Velocimetry - A Practical Guide provides comprehensive information on PIV. Its third edition extends many aspects of Particle image Velocimetry, in particular the tomographic PIV method, high-speed PIV, Micro-PIV, and accuracy assessment.

Fourth Edition (2027)

The fourth edition of the handbook is currently in production with publication planned for publication early 2027. This version of Particle Image Velocimetry - A Practical Guide was not only revised extensively but features a much more in-depth treatment of particle tracking approaches, in particular, the “Shake-the-box” (STB) algorithm for 3d time-resolved Lagrangian particle tracking. 

Digital content

Starting with the present edition, additional material is made available to the reader in digital form. The Digital Content (DC), which is available at this website http://www.pivbook.org, expands the available information - amongst others - by means of example images, and results that can be inspected with more detail than in the regular book.

The Digital Content is provided to the reader of the book Particle Image Velocimetry - A Practical Guide on a voluntary basis without any responsibilities of the authors or the publisher.
