Abstract
The advent of the quantitative imaging instruments has potential to significantly accelerate sediment transport understanding. Not only they measure separately the flow phases within a wide range of temporal and spatial resolutions, but, especially important, they are non-intrusive. Currently, an increased number of studies in the multi-phase flow research community are carried out using optical instruments. The capabilities of these instruments provide opportunity to investigate the complexity of sediment-laden flows using a fresh approach. Presented in the paper are measurements made with Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV), one of the best candidates of the new generation of optical-based instruments for the investigation of multiphase flows. Experiments were conducted with two equipment configurations: a high speed and a high resolution imaging system. The paper explores the capabilities of PTV to provide new insights into the structure of flows with suspended sediment, the simplest case of sediment transport.
