SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the disadvantages of the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurement system. Key drawbacks include the necessity for a powerful laser sheet, which significantly increases costs, and the requirement for specialized image tracking software. Additionally, the PIV technique is not applicable to all flow types, with supersonic flows being a notable exception where PIV cannot be utilized.
