To better understand the complex dynamics and physics associated with the rapid expansion of the detonation product fireball following an explosion, it is imperative to have a full description of its associated velocity field. Typical experimental techniques rely on simple single-point measurements captured from pressure transducers or Hopkinson pressure bars. In this technical design note, we aim to improve the current state-of-the-art by introducing a means to determine full velocity fields from high-speed video using optical flow tracking velocimetry. We demonstrate the significance of this method from our results by comparing velocity fields derived from high-speed video and a validated numerical model of the same case. A wider use of this technique will allow researchers to elucidate spatial and temporal features of explosive detonations, which could not be obtained thus far using single-point measurements
