Abstract

 Sheridan et al. (1997) have recently published particle-image-velocimetry (PIV) results showing water flow patterns around a cylinder at various values of shallow immersion. These results have been compared with a turbulent-flow tracer study of some of the same flow configurations. In shallow-immersion cylinder comparison tests, the streaklines of the tracer technique offer a virtually identical impression of the principal flow characteristics when compared with the PIV velocity vectors.
