v7 v8 9 9 We consider a set of measurement points ${\bf r_i}, i = 1,2, \ldots,N$, and the corresponding set of measurements values for a quantity $f$ (a velocity component for PIV data). 10 10 11 $ f({\bf r_i})=f_i, i = 1,2, \ldots,N} \; [equ. 1] $11 $ f({\bf r_i})=f_i, i = 1,2, \ldots,N} \; [equ. 1] $ 12 12 13 13 A pure interpolation function $f({\bf r})$ must exactly reach these values $f_i $ at the measurement points, while a smoothing function should approach these values within a range smaller than the estimated error bar. … … 15 15 Considering first the case of a pure interpolation, the function $f({\bf r})$ must minimise the 'elastic energy' or mean squared curvature 16 16 17 17 $ E = \int\left[\left(\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2}\right)^2 + 2\left(\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial xy}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y^2}\right)^2 \right] \textrm{d} x \, \textrm{d}y \;\textrm{[equ. 2]} $ 18 18 19 19 with the constraints [->equ. 1]. These constraints can be also written as a domain integral with Dirac functions at measurement points: 20 20 21 $ {\int f \delta({\bf r-r_i}) \textrm{d} x \, \textrm{d}y=f_i , i = 1,2, \ldots,N} \;\textrm{[equ. 3]} $21 $ {\int f \delta({\bf r-r_i}) \textrm{d} x \, \textrm{d}y=f_i , i = 1,2, \ldots,N} \;\textrm{[equ. 3]} $ 22 22 23 23 This variational problem is solved by introducing a Lagrange parameter $8\pi S_i$ for each constraint (the factor $8\pi$ is put for further convenience). The variation of the energy can be rewritten by a double integration by part, leading to $\int \Delta^2 f \delta f dx dy$. The optimum function $f$ is thus solution of the double Laplacian equation with pointwise source terms at locations $r_i$, … … 27 27 The solution $\phi$ for a single source point is such that $\Delta^2 \phi=0$ everywhere outside the source. Using the axisymmetric form of the Laplacian $\Delta \phi=\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}(r\frac{d\phi}{dr})$, we can show that the general axisymmetric solution is 28 28 29 $\phi=C_0 \log(r)+C_1 r^2 + C_2 r^2 \log (r)+C_3 \;\textrm{[equ. 5]}$$ whose Laplacian writes $$\Delta\phi=\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}(r\frac{d\phi}{dr})=4 C_1+ 4 C_2 (1+\log(r))\;\textrm{[equ. 6]}$ 29 $\phi=C_0 \log(r)+C_1 r^2 + C_2 r^2 \log (r)+C_3 \;\textrm{[equ. 5]}$ 30 whose Laplacian writes 31 32 $\Delta\phi=\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}(r\frac{d\phi}{dr})=4 C_1+ 4 C_2 (1+\log(r))\;\textrm{[equ. 6]}$ 30 33 31 34 The coefficient $C_0$ must be zero to avoid divergence of $\phi$ at the origin. The constant $C_3$ can be included in a global constant $a_0$. The constant $C_1$ can be viewed as a change of unit for $r$ (replacing $r$ by $r/r_0$ with $\log(r_0)=-C_1/C_2)$), and can be set to 0 without loss of generality. The integral of $\Delta\phi$ over a small neighborhood of the source must be equal to $8\pi S_i$. By the divergence theorem, this is also equal to the flux of $\nabla \Delta \phi=4 C_2/r$ around the source, equal to $8\pi C_2$. This must be equal to $8\pi S_i$, which sets $C_2=S_i$. The elementary function is thus $\phi(r)=S_i r^2\log (r)$.^ … … 33 36 The general form of $f$ is thus 34 37 35 $\label{sol_gene} f({\bf r})=\sum S_i \phi({\bf|r-r_i}|)+a_0+a_1x+a_2y\;\textrm{[equ. 7]} $38 $\label{sol_gene} f({\bf r})=\sum S_i \phi({\bf|r-r_i}|)+a_0+a_1x+a_2y\;\textrm{[equ. 7]} $ 36 39 37 40 with $\phi(r)=r^2\log (r)$. The values at the measurement points ${\bf r_j}$ are 38 41 39 $ f({\bf r_j})=\sum S_i \phi({\bf|r_j-r_i}|)+a_0+a_1x_j+a_2y_j;\;\textrm{[equ. 8]} $42 $ f({\bf r_j})=\sum S_i \phi({\bf|r_j-r_i}|)+a_0+a_1x_j+a_2y_j;\;\textrm{[equ. 8]} $ 40 43 41 44 In other words, defining the vector $F=f({\bf r_j}) \{ j=1,...N \}, a_0, a_1,a_2$ and the matrix 42 45 43 $ M=\left[ \begin{array}{cc}^46 $ M=\left[ \begin{array}{cc}^ 44 47 \phi(|r_j-r_i|) , 1,\; x_j,\; y_j \\ ... \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; ... \;\;\; ... \;\;\; ...\\ 45 48 … … 55 58 The variational problem then leads to the equation 56 59 57 $ \rho\Delta^2 f= \sum (f_i-f) \delta ({\bf r-r_i}) $60 $ \rho\Delta^2 f= \sum (f_i-f) \delta ({\bf r-r_i}) $ 58 61 59 62 The solution is still obtained as a sum of radial basis functions $\phi({\bf|r-r_i}|)$, whose weight $S_i$ now satisfies $M_\rho*S=F$, with the matrix 60 63 61 $ M_\rho=M+\rho I_{000} $64 $ M_\rho=M+\rho I_{000} $ 62 65 63 66 where $I_{000}$ is the NxN identity matrix extended by three columns of 0.^ … … 66 69 Spatial derivatives of the interpolated quantity $f$ can be obtained by direct differentiation of the result. For any function $\phi(r)$, with radial distance $r=|{\bf r-r_i}|$, $r^2=X^2+Y^2$, $\partial_X \phi=(d\phi/dr) \partial_X r$, and $\partial_X r=X/r$. This yields $\partial_X \phi=X (2 \log(r) +1)$, so that, 67 70 68 $\partial_x f({\bf r})=\sum S_i (2 \log|{\bf r-r_i}|+1)(x-x_i)+a_1;$69 $\partial_y f({\bf r})=\sum S_i (2 \log|{\bf r-r_i}|+1)(y-y_i)+a_2;$71 $\partial_x f({\bf r})=\sum S_i (2 \log|{\bf r-r_i}|+1)(x-x_i)+a_1;$ 72 $\partial_y f({\bf r})=\sum S_i (2 \log|{\bf r-r_i}|+1)(y-y_i)+a_2;$ 70 73 71 74 = Sub-domains =
