The purpose of the SIG and of PivNet is to discuss scientific aspects of new developments of the PIV technique, including :
	Laser technology
	CCD camera technology
	Particles and injection systems
	Assessment of PIV performances
	3D (and even 4D) information from PIV
	Comparison of PIV results with DNS and LES results
	Specific problems in two-phase flows
	Fluid measurement toolbox

Four workshops are organized in Europe between 1998 and 2002. As needed, special focus on one of the topics will be decided for each workshop.
These workshops are open to all PivNet partners and to all ERCOFTAC members.
