An open-source, physics-aware, data-driven tool for automated particle image velocimetry post-processing

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a powerful diagnostic tool for analyzing the properties and structures of laminar and turbulent flows. Modern PIV systems provide high spatial and temporal resolution measurements, often generating hundreds of gigabytes of raw data. Before thes...

Measuring Active Layer Thickness and Permafrost Shear-Wave Velocity as a Potential Proxy for Thaw Stability Using Surface-Wave Methods

Abstract Two of the most important design considerations of civil infrastructure in cold regions are active layer thickness and permafrost thaw stability. This study examines whether noninvasive surface-wave methods, specifically the multichannel analysis of surface waves, can ef...
