Abstract

The aim of this paper is to calculate the motion of small dilute particles carried by a given flow with the help of two models of behaviour, and then to compare this motion to that measured by a method of multiple exposure holography. The results lead to the specification of the field of validity of each model. Also they provide information about the ability of the holographic method to be used as a velocimetry technique in fluid mechanics.
