A detailed presentation of the cooperative research activity undertaken by 20 European teams to contribute to the development of particle image velocimetry. This research was performed over a period of two years, in the frame of a European Brite-Euram contract and was greatly enhanced by its cooperative aspect. This text presents extensive comparisons of both recording and analysis of PIV images. A database has been built, which is presented in detail and which is accessible via the Internet. Industrial application in a large wind tunnel, validation of up-to-date numerical predictions and new developments including extension to 3C are also addressed in the different chapters of this book. In addition, 25 individual contributions are provided in the form of scientific papers which cover various aspects of the development of the method (PTV, video recording, stereo-PIV, holo-PIV). The study should be of interest to scientists and engineers active in the field.

This is the proceedings of the ERCOFTAC Workshop on Progress in Wall Turbulence: Understanding and Modelling, that was held in Lille, France from June 18 to 20, 2014. The workshop brought together world specialists of near wall turbulence and stimulated exchanges between them around up-to-date theories, experiments, simulations and numerical models. This book contains a coherent collection of recent results on near wall turbulence including theory, new experiments, DNS and modeling with RANS, LES. The fact that both physical understanding and modeling by different approaches are addressed by the best specialists in a single workshop is original.

The Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurement technique has undergone a strong development in the last 10 years. This book presents the proceedings of an international workshop held in Zaragoza, Spain, on March 31st and April 1st, 2003, containing contributions from worldwide leading teams in the development of the PIV method. Most of these papers have been funded by the EC via the European EUROPIV 2 consortium to improve the performances of this measurement technique toward applications in the European Aeronautical industry, including results which are of strong interest for the worldwide community in Fluid Dynamics.
