PIV OPERATION IN HYDRODYNAMIC FACILITIES

This paper concerns the research activities on "PIV operation in hydrodynamic facilities" (Joint Research Program JRP-1) conducted by a large group of partners of the Network of Excellence "Hydro-Testing Alliance". The paper presents applications which have been performed or which are currently in preparation in this Program: wave run-up, wake flows in powering/manoeuvring conditions, wake flows in cavitation tunnel or shallow water basin, nuclei sizing in cavitation tunnel, flat plate benchmarking program.
