Instructions for the analysis of case A : 
Loss of seeding in the core of a tip vortex
26.10.2000 		christian.kaehler@dlr.de

Image A001_1.tif and A001_2.tif were recorded at the DNW-LLF in order
to study experimentally the wake vortex formation behind a transport
aircraft (DLR ALVAST half model) in landing configuration (U=60 m/s,
main flow direction is perpendicular to the light-sheet plane). The
measurement position was 1.64 m behind the wing tip and the field of
view is 170 mm by 140 mm. The images were selected as strong gradients,
loss of image density, and varying particle image sizes are common
problems for many PIV applications in large wind tunnels.

Instructions for the analysis of case C : Strong wall reflection

28/10/00 contact : Pr Stanislas pivnet-sig32@univ-lille1.fr

The set of images is referenced C001_1.tif and C001_2.tif. 
Their size is 1000 x 512 pixel. 
They are provided in tif format with a header of  8 pixels. 
These images were recorded in a centrifugal impeller 
with a pulsed YAG laser (about 300 mJ/pulse) and PEG smoke 
(about 1 micron in diameter). 
They are selected for the strong reflection occurring 
on the trailing edge of the blade. 
The black line going across the field 
from bottom right to top left is a shadow 
used to limit the flare on the trailing edge. 
The two white circles are the two edges of the fixed 
vaneless diffuser.

Together with the PIV images are provided 2 background 
images named Cbg_1.tif and Cbg_2.tif in the same format. 
These images were obtained in the same experimental 
conditions, just by cutting of the seeding.

Also provided is 1 mask named Cmask_1.tif, in the form of a 
binary image, corresponding to the obstacles present in the image. 
The measurement points inside the black mask should have 
a value of 0 in the velocity matrix and in the flag matrix. 

The reference analysis for this case is :
