英文摘要：

Particle Image Velocimetry （PIV） has been developed to be one of the most extensively used non-contact laser-based methods for velocimetry measurements, which provides visible flow field information to study the high speed complex flow mechanisms. In the present paper, we summarize our researches on the tracers seeding, particle relaxation modelling, the flowfield of shock waves and supersonic turbulent boundary layer. From the perspective of theory and quantitative analysis, for the application of PIV technology in surpersonic flows, there are still many challenges to the optical devices, tracer particles as well as their seeding system and so on. Nevertheless, we have systematically studied the applicability and feasibility of PIV methods in supersonic flows in view of the principals of PIV technology and the current applications in supersonic flows. The results also demonstrate that PIV measurement is not always accurate, and thus the applications and developments of PIV technology in supersonic flows shall be subject to the flow features under research.
