Résumé

The recent evolutions of the optical analysis of three-dimensional (3D) flows by means of light scattering and quantitative imagery are presented. In order to remove the intrinsic ambiguity of the well-known tomographic methods (how to obtain 3D information by using a 2D plane illumination?), the efficiency of polychromatic lightings is shown: the basic idea is to code the third dimension by the wavelength. Different approaches are described: discrete or continuous analysis, sequential or simultaneous recordings, and measurement of two or three velocity components (2C or 3C techniques). The most recent 3D velocimetry method using a rainbow lighting process (RVV-Rainbow Volumic Velocimetry) is presented. The main qualities and limitations of these different methods are discussed.
