Abstract: Holographic PTV (HPTV) is one of powerful means to get 3D (three-dimensional) velocity field information of flows. A micro-HPTV technique was developed and applied to measure 3D velocity fields of various micro-scale flows, including the flows in straight and curved micro-tubes having a circular cross-section and the 3D motion of red blood cells in a micro-tube. The inertial migration of neutrally buoyant micro-spheres suspended in a micro-tube was also investigated with varying Reynolds number and particle size. In addition, the motile characteristics of 3D motion of free-swimming chain-forming phytoplankton having different number of cells in various configurations were analyzed using the micro-HPTV technique. From time-varying 3D trajectories of swimming microorganisms, their swimming behaviors and swimming motion parameters were extracted successfully. Through these experiments, the micro-HPTV method was found to have strong potential in the accurate measurements of temporal variations of 3D velocity fields of various micro-scale flows and 3D motility of RBCs and microorganisms.
