Solicitation for Three-Component Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) System

The contract is for the acquisition and commissioning of a Three-Component Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) System for the Wall of Wind (WOW) Experimental Facility at Florida International University. The system must be capable of measuring all three velocity components and have the ability to be configured as a high-speed, time-resolved PIV, and a large field-of-view (LFOV) PIV system. The contract includes the delivery of safety and technical training to the WOW team. Key features of the PIV system include: • Ability to measure all three velocity components • High-speed, time-resolved PIV capability • Large field-of-view (LFOV) PIV capability • Flexible or modular traversing mechanism • Ability to adapt between a horizontal and vertical plane setup • Solution for fluid-structure interaction problems
