Abstract: Planar velocity fields in flows are determined on parallel measurement planes simultaneously by means of an in-house manufactured light-field camera. The planes are defined by illuminating light sheets with constant spacing. Particle positions are reconstructed from a single 2D recording taken by a CMOS-camera equipped with a high-quality doublet lens array. The fast refocusing algorithm bases on synthetic-aperture particle image velocimetry (SAPIV). Reconstruction quality is tested by ray-tracing of synthetically generated particle fields. Influence of image processing is documented. The introduced single-camera SAPIV is applied to a convective flow within a measurement volume of 30x30x50mm³.
