Abstract

Digital holography is a well-established technique for tracer particle studies in a flow. Unfortunately, its great depth of focus increases the uncertainty along the Z axis. This drawback becomes very significant when the concentration of seeding particles increases. This is the case in real installations such as wind or water channel flows. In such cases, observing the whole volume, and therefore all the particles, and tracking individual particles in order to determine their motions becomes an awesome task. Getting a hologram of the whole scene is impossible with the existing photographic sensors. The solution offered by the present day technologies and academic studies is to take several holograms and synthesize the whole scene hologram. However, for getting individual particle behavior, it is necessary to make several processing steps, makes processing very complicated if the number of seeding tracer particles is relatively high, on one hand and on the other hand, the correlation between dynamic characteristics could not highly established. In such cases, the technique of one hologram is highly recommended. In order to overcome these problems, we propose here a new technique based on combining the two instantaneous orthogonal views and hologram aperture reduction (opposed to aperture synthesis). To establish the technique, we investigate a little volume with a reduced number of particles, and the development and experimental results are presented. We focus on the development and experimental application of this technique.
