To improve current methods for the experimental validation of numerical simulations in corrugated-plate heat exchangers (CPHEs), a full-field quantitative velocimetry of fluid flow is required. This paper investigates the application of particle-tracking velocimetry (PTV) to modified CPHEs. For this, an experimental CPHE unit with a transparent, corrugated upper plate was built. We show that by viewing through a corrugated, refractive interface, a complex periodic optical distortion is introduced, that affects and corrupts the estimated particle trajectories. As this problem cannot be addressed using existing calibration techniques, we propose a novel calibration algorithm for periodic optical distortion. The algorithm relies on the automatic detection of nonlinear distortion using a checkerboard target place within the CPHE unit.
