We apply a new probabilistic python-based high-density Particle-Tracking-Velocimetry (pyHDPTV) method and the commercial Shake-The-Box (STB) algorithm from LaVision (DaVis v10.2.0) to measured data of a turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection in a cubic cell. The measurement was performed in water (Prandtl number Pr ≈ 7) with a seeding particle densities of ρ ≈ 0:04 ppp at the hard turbulence regime with Rayleigh number Ra ≈ 1E10.
