Particle image velocimetry is an experimental technique for measuring the velocity field of a moving fluid by tracking small particles dispersed within the flow. To extend this technique to the study of fluid temperature, we propose a novel tracer particle which enables direct measurement of the velocity, while acting as a temperature sensor by increasing its fluorescence intensity when the local fluid temperature rises above 32°C. Thermoresponsive tracers are prepared by incorporating nitrobenzofurazan functionalized hydrogels within optically transparent polydimethylsiloxane microspheres. We demonstrate the application of the tracers in the study of forced thermal convection in water around a heated cylinder in an open channel.
