Abstract
Digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) is a non-intrusive analysis technique that is very popular for mapping flows quantitatively. To get accurate results, in particular in complex flow fields, a number of challenges have to be faced and solved: The quality of the flow measurements is affected by computational details such as image pre-conditioning, sub-pixel peak estimators, data validation procedures, interpolation algorithms and smoothing methods. The accuracy of several algorithms was determined and the best performing methods were implemented in a user-friendly open-source tool for performing DPIV flow analysis in Matlab.

Fundamental investigation using active plasma control to reduce blade–vortex interaction noise:

TL;DR: In this article, a plasminar actuator strategically placed at the tip of the rotor blades can reduce the strength of the tip vortic vortex interaction noise, which is a problematic component of rotor noise.

Mechanisms of Submarine Debris Flow Growth

TL;DR: In this article , a new entrainment model is proposed for submarine debris flows with different clay contents, considering the relative contributions from basal grain friction and fluid viscous stresses that drive the entraining process, and the effects of hydroplaning.

Interleukin-6–dependent epithelial fluidization initiates fibrotic lung remodeling

TL;DR: Airway epithelial-fibroblast cocultures revealed that the fibrotic mesenchyme acts as a source of IL-6 family cytokines, which drive airway fluidization, andhibition of the IL- 6-SFK-YAP cascade was sufficient to prevent fluidization in both in vitro and ex vivo models.

The Design and Implementation of FFTW3

TL;DR: It is shown that such an approach can yield an implementation of the discrete Fourier transform that is competitive with hand-optimized libraries, and the software structure that makes the current FFTW3 version flexible and adaptive is described.

Adaptive histogram equalization and its variations

TL;DR: It is concluded that clipped ahe should become a method of choice in medical imaging and probably also in other areas of digital imaging, and that clip ahe can be made adequately fast to be routinely applied in the normal display sequence.

Digital Particle Image Velocimetry

TL;DR: In this article, the directional ambiguity associated with PIV and LSV is resolved by implementing local spatial cross-correlations between two sequential single-exposed particle images, and the recovered velocity data are used to compute the spatial and temporal vorticity distribution and the circulation of the vortex ring.
