Results from several applications of particle image velocimetry (PIV) to unsteady flows at a laboratory scale have been published, and commercial products are now available for more general laboratory use, but for certain industrially important applications, reliable equip-ment is often available only from in-house research and development teams. This PIV handbook is intended to transfer know-how from PIV development laboratories to end-users in industry and universities. The book discusses the scientific and technical aspects required to set up a PIV system, allows users to assess the problems involved in the application of PIV, and enables them to design, optimize, and use PIV systems to meet their special needs.

From the reviews of the second edition:
"This second edition of a text first published in 1998 represents a comprehensive reference written by noted experts in the field on the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. … Particle Image Velocimetry … represents the most comprehensive reference on the PIV technique to date. … the second edition of this book will undoubted serve the PIV community, novice and advanced users … ."
