报告题目：Hybrid Particle Image Velocimetry with the Combination of Cross-correlation and Optical Flow Method
主要内容：Through a combination of two methods, the cross-correlation and optical flow method, a novel technique can benefit from the strengths of each method while concealing the flaws each individual method contains. The Hybrid Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) method utilizes the state-of-the-art cross-correlation method suitablefor large displacements, the optical flow method is restricted to images with small displacements. Combining the two methods requires the constraints set forth on the optical flow method to be conserved. Thus techniques such as interpolation, image shifting, and Gaussian filtering are crucial for transitioning cross-correlation results to optical flow analysis. Towards validating the accuracy of the hybrid PIV method, standard PIV images encompassed various parameters were utilized to conduct the validation study. Each set of images were analyzed by the hybrid method and three other widely-used correlation techniques in order to compare the hybrid method’s accuracy with traditional correlation-based methods.

报告题目：Experimental Investigations on the Passive Control of Wind Turbine Wakes
主要内容：Wind Turbine dynamics, wake effects and environmental impacts have been identified as the most significant research topics needed for wind power generation. Tip vortices and turbulence generated by the sweeping blade are the substantial source for the turbulent wake flow as well as the aerodynamic noise emission from wind turbine. Experimental studies are conducted to characterize the evolution of the tip vortices downstream a well-designed horizontal axis wind turbine model. The effect of the alteration of tip design were investigated to identify the effective passive control of the generation of tip vortices. On the other hand, owl-wing-like materials were utilized to create a trailing edge fringe to regulate the turbulent wake from the blade. It was found in the experimental study that the existence of the flexible trailing edge fringe can help break the large-scale swirls into small-scale weak swirls for relatively large angle of attack, while the motion of the fringe might induce additional Reynolds stress at lower angle of attack.

报告题目：Hemodynamics in the Intracranial Vascular System: Numerical Solution and Experimental Examination
主要内容：Hemodynamics plays a key role in may vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, and intracranial aneurysm. Unnormal Wall Shear Stress (WSS) has been identified as the most important trigger for vessel wall degeneration.Detailed blood velocity information in vascular system can be obtained both computationally and experimentally.On one hand, a numerical simulation using a patient-specific vascular model was conducted to present the details of the blood flow inside an aneurysm. On the other hand, an experimental examination was conducted by applying the optical flow method (OFM) in processing fluoroscopic digital subtracted catheter angiographic images, however, there are still challenges with the accuracy of this method. In the present study, a divergence compensatory Optical Flow Method (DC-OFM), in which a non-zero divergence of velocity is assumed due to the finite resolution of the image, was explored and applied to the digital subtraction angiography (DSA) images of blood flow. The objective of this study is to examine the applicability and evaluate the accuracy of DC-OFM in assessing the blood flow velocity in vessels. Validation studies were conducted by using standard particle images and DSA images. In comparison with the traditional OFM, the present method can provide more accurate velocity estimation. The accuracy of the velocity estimation can also be improved by implementing pre-process techniques including image intensification, Gaussian filtering and “image -shift”.
