Software
Software I use in my research:
- Matlab™ by Mathworks Inc.
- Particle Tracking Velocimetry software from IGP/IHW, ETH Zurich
- MatPIV 1.6.1 - a versatile PIV toolbox for Matlab™ by J. K. Sveen
- HDF Data format with Matlab (still HDF 4, slowly moving to HDF 5) from NCSA
Some stuff that I also contribute to:
- URAPIV - “Where Matlab ™ meets Particle Image Velocimetry” - an open-source Matlab toolbox for analysis of the PIV images
- TFAM - Turbulent Flow Analysis with Matlab™
Recently, I got enloved with Python and even rewrote our old and good stuff, URAPIV by using highly popular SciPy/NumPy packages (see PyPIV on SourceForge.NeT). It works excellent, it’s easy to learn, it’s highly extensible, the language is as simple as Matlab, and maybe even easier. Highly recommended as a replacement of very expensive Matlab (unless you’re in a university). Can run on any platform and it is “free as beer”.
