In this review we discuss the state of the art of the optical whole-field velocity measurement technique micro-scale Particle Image Velocimetry (microPIV). microPIV is a useful tool for fundamental research of microfluidics as well as for the detailed characterization and optimization of microfluidic applications in life science, lab-on-a-chip, biomedical research, micro chemical engineering, analytical chemistry and other related fields of research. An in depth description of the microPIV method is presented and compared to other flow visualization and measurement methods. An overview of the most relevant applications is given on the topics of near-wall flow, electrokinetic flow, biological flow, mixing, two-phase flow, turbulence transition and complex fluid dynamic problems. Current trends and applications are critically reviewed. Guidelines for the implementation and application are also discussed.
在本综述中，我们讨论了光学全场速度测量技术——微尺度粒子图像测速技术（microPIV）的发展现状。microPIV是微流体基础研究的有用工具，也可用于生命科学、芯片实验室、生物医学研究、微化学工程、分析化学及其他相关研究领域中微流体应用的详细表征与优化。本文对microPIV方法进行了深入描述，并与其他流动可视化和测量方法进行了比较。文中还概述了近壁流动、电动流动、生物流动、混合、两相流动、湍流转变和复杂流体动力学问题等最相关的应用。对当前的趋势和应用进行了批判性综述。此外，还讨论了实施和应用指南。
