Particle Image Velocimetry and Tracer Particle Visibility
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) expresses a vast field with varying techniques and data acquisition methods. However, the main goal is providing an optical method of flow visualization. The exact information obtained depends on which method is used, with new algorithms and approaches being discovered constantly. There are generally two ways
12th International Symposium on Particle Image Velocimetry
Cospheric participated in the 12th International Symposium on Particle Image Velocimetry in Busan, Korea, with the hope of sharing knowledge about seeding particles involved in PIV research and advancements in microsphere technology which would benefit the work being done in flow visualization. Through conversations with many attendees we were able
Use of Polyethylene Spheres to Study Effect of Microplastics Transport in Soil
Despite great general benefits derived from plastic use, accumulation of plastic material in ecosystems, and especially microplastics, is becoming an increasing environmental concern. Microplastic has been extensively studied in aquatic environments, with very few studies focusing on soils. Overview of the study on microplastics transport in soil: Scientists tested the
Fluorescent Glass Microspheres
Solid glass microspheres hemispherically coated with fluorescent coatings, a fluorescent coating is precisely applied to half of the core sphere, making the glass spheres appear colorful and fluorescent at daylight and exhibit bright fluorescent response under UV light.
Janus Particles – Properties and Applications
What are Janus Particles? Named after two-faced Roman god Janus who looks to both the future and the past, Janus particles are typically microscopic spheres composed of two different regions. Originally the term “janus particles” was used in reference only to particles that had a hydrophobic surface on one hemisphere
