PIVlab 1.1 released

PIVlab v 1.1, added features / improvements: better smoothing algorithm (smoothn.m) if supported (otherwise gaussian kernel is used) removed several known bugs/ pitfalls added a feature to extract tangential velocity along a series of circles with increasing radius (useful to calculate vortex circulation) added a feature to extract circulation via integrating the vorticity over area for a series of an increasing area added a feature to calculate the weighted centroid of derived parameters improvements in the particle image generation algorithm added several flow simulations (including Hamel-Oseen vortices and vortex pairs) vector width is user selectable Download PIVlab @ Matlab Central

PIVlab analysis

Synthetic PIV images were created using PIVlab's built-in image generator:
