Abstract: Flow characteristics of a three-dimensional fluid flow are quantified by bubble thermography velocimetry (BTV) in which large numbers of bubbles buoyant in the fluid and having a predetermined size and temperature are introduced into in the fluid flow while long wavelength infrared camera (LWIR) cameras record the positions over time of individual bubbles. In one application the fluid is air and the bubbles are soap bubbles, and the velocity, acceleration and direction of individual bubbles carried by wind through a target area of interest are derived from the position of each bubble at predetermined time intervals for environmental analyses such as weather and climate modeling, urban dispersion studies, building wind load analyses, and the like. BTV defines each bubble's path and velocity vectors in three dimensions that produce richer data than known flow analysis techniques by tracking the bubbles over larger scales at correspondingly higher spatial and velocity resolutions.
