Particle Displacement

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Particle Displacement 

a displacement £ of an infinitely small part of the medium with respect to the medium as a whole as a result of the passage of a sound wave. The direction of particle displacement may or may not coincide with the direction of wave propagation, depending on the wave type. For all attainable sound intensities the particle displacement is ξ < λ, where λ is the wavelength of the sound wave.

1]] (22) Where r is the particle displacement |bo*| and R is the length of the diagonal |bo| as shown in the Fig.
The camera images are divided into rectangular regions called interrogation areas (or interrogation regions) and, for each of these interrogation areas, the image from the first and the second pulse of the light sheet are spatially correlated (cross-correlation using Fast Fourier Transform) to produce an average particle displacement vector.
The VPTV system uses two cameras to view the illuminated flow field and capture particle displacement images with the parallax effect.
