Snowflake-tracing large-scale PIV enables full-scale measurements of atmospheric flow around a wall-mounted cube
This study introduces a novel snowflake-tracing large-scale particle image velocimetry (LPIV-s) technique to perform the first full-scale, high-resolution measurements of atmospheric flow around a wall-mounted cube, revealing unique unsteady wake behaviors like "wake breathing" and distinct flow states driven by high-Reynolds-number turbulence.
