Abstract
A flow visualization technique has been developed to allow investigation of micron-scale flow behaviors by coupling the techniques of laser-induced fl uorescence (LIF) and particle imaging velocimetry (PIV), and adapting them to the micron scales. In this paper, the flow studies have been performed u sing image analysis of fluorescent magnetic microspheres of 3 mu m average diameter suspended in fluid and subjected to a magnetic field.
