Recent Developments and Applications of Molecular Tagging Velocimetry for High-Speed Flow Measurements

This document provides a detailed discussion of various aspects of molecular tagging velocimetry (MTV), with a particular focus on applications to high-speed flow measurements. The discussion includes details on photophysics for the most common tracers, approaches and considerations for performing MTV measurements, and techniques for reducing experimental data for extracting velocity and secondary quantities. Examples are also provided to demonstrate the successes of MTV in high-speed flow measurements, before highlighting current challenges and limitations of the diagnostic technique.
