In our working group we have numerous experimental methods at our disposal, which we apply to understand details of the flow fields. A special focus is the application of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), as this can provide spatially resolved and quantitative velocity fields, including the statistical properties of turbulence. But also more qualitative visualization methods, for example oil flow or tuft visualizations, often provide very valuable information about the behavior of the flow.
