Summary
Quantitative flow visualization has the advantage of providing instantaneous full field velocity measurement of complex flows. In this article, methods of quantitative velocity measurement are briefly reviewed. Then two benchmark experiments of three-dimensional flow conducted by the authors are presented. The purpose of the experiments is to study the complex three-dimensional motion and to measure quantitative velocity profiles and stream patterns for verification of the accuracy of the three-dimensional numerical simulation. From the investigation of flow past a cubic chamber with offset inlet and outlet flows and the lid driven rotating flow, complex three-dimensional flows are elucidated and quantitative data are documented.
