RT Journal Article ID 6f7e272d311a815d A1 Yamamoto, Fujio A1 Wada, Ari-isa A1 Iguchi, Manabu A1 Ishikawa, Masa-aki T1 TORQUE CONVERTER INTERNAL FLOW: VISUALIZATION AND IMAGE PROCESSING JF Journal of Flow Visualization and Image Processing JO JFV YR 2017 FD 2017-12-12 VO 24 IS 1-4 SP 203 OP 214 AB This article deals with the techniques of flow visualization and image processing of the internal flows of the torque converter (TIC acronym) widely used in automatic transmission cars.
The internal flows of TIC was visualized by using a transparent model made of acrylic resin, and visualized images were processed to determine velocity vectors using the binary image cross-correlation method that is one of techniques of particle imaging velocimetry (PIV acronym). Inasmuch as the velocity vectors were obtained at randomly distributed points in the flow field, three kinds of methods were newly proposed to estimate velocity vectors at any grid points from the measured velocity vectors.
