Two measurements on the same channel and with the same flow rate
Moving the channel and refocusing changes the location of the SV

Conclusion
A simple spatial average over the Sampling Volume suffices to explain the
discrepancies between expected and measured velocity profiles.

The near-wall features such as kinks provide extra information that allow the full
determination of flow rates unknown to the experimenter.

The Sampling Volume approach provided a straightforward interpretation of the
measured data and was able to reproduce the experimental profile from wall to wall.


µPIV measurements can be made quantitative without using post-processing.
This approach is robust against the most common sources of experimental
uncertainty.


The Scanning PIV procedure fails to locate the center of the channel for large DOC.
