Software for Processing Data in Particle-Image Velocimetry

PIVPROC is a computer program for processing data in particle-image velocimetry (PIV), which is a method of determining a flow velocity field from images of small seed particles that are entrained in the flow and that are illuminated by laser pulses at known intervals of time. PIVPROC creates an interactive computing environment for displaying and processing PIV image data. This environment includes a graphical user interface that provides user-friendly access to the image-data-processing capabilities of the program.
