> Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) analysis with OpenPIV.

# `openpiv`

> Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) analysis with OpenPIV. Use when extracting velocity fields from PIV image pairs, analyzing fluid dynamics or flow visualization experiments, cross-correlating interrogation windows, validating and replacing spurious PIV vectors, or computing vorticity, strain rate, and turbulence statistics from measured velocity fields.
