• Abstract: An important tool for experimental fluids mechanics research is Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). Several robust methodologies have been proposed to perform the estimation of velocity field from the images, however, alternative methods are still needed to increase the spatial resolution of the results. This work presents a novel approach for estimating fluid flow fields using neural networks and the optical flow equation to predict displacement vectors between sequential images. The result is a continuous representation of the displacement, that can be evaluated on the full spatial resolution of the image. The methodology was validated on synthetic and experimental images. Accurate results were obtained in terms of the estimation of instantaneous velocity fields, and of the determined time average turbulence quantities and power spectral density. The methodology proposed differs of previous attempts of using machine learning for this task: it does not require any previous training, and could be directly used in any pair of images.

  We introduce the Neural Sinkhorn Gradient Flow (NSGF) model, which parametrizes the time-varying velocity field of the Wasserstein gradient flow. Our theoretical analyses show that as the sample size increases to infinity, the mean-field limit of the empirical approximation converges to the true underlying velocity field. To further enhance model efficiency on high-dimensional tasks, a two-phase NSGF++ model is devised.
