## Description

A time resolved particle velocimetry \(PIV\) system is required for use with the low turbulence wind tunnel at the University of Bristol\. The system will be used with existing Photron WX100 high speed video cameras which have a frame rate of 1000 fps and 32 GB of RAM\. The system will be used to measure the velocity fields around wind tunnel models in the wind tunnel at flow speeds from 5 m/s to 90 m/s\.
