• PIV is a fluid measurement technique that is used to determine the average displacement of a group of particles.
• PIV offers advantages over particle tracking by enabling the rapid reconstruction of spatially resolved two-and three-dimensional
velocity fields.
• PIV has facilitated detailed measurements of a wide variety of phenomena in complex (dusty) plasmas from particle transport to
DAW/DDW to thermal properties.
• New developments:
o Detailed benchmarking of PIV against simulations
o Spatially resolved stereo-PIV
o Tomographic PIV
o Time-resolved PIV
