Article: New findings from A. Pichler and co-researchers in the area of shock research described.

"Doppler picture velocimetry (DPV) is a tool for visualizing and measuring the flow velocity distribution of tracer particles in a laser light sheet. A frequency sensitive Michelson interferometer, tuned for detecting the velocity distribution by the Doppler effect, visualizes the velocity information of tracer particles crossing an illuminating laser light sheet as interference fringe patterns," researchers in France report.

"Many efforts have been done to evaluate best these DPV patterns, in order to obtain the frequency distribution and, by applying the Doppler formula, the velocity profile of the tracers. The first processing method, developed in 1982, relied ...
