Open Science Blog asks very good questions: how to make money from open source scientific software? Do you have an answer? write me a private e-mail, don't comment in public

Oh, our answer is:
1. Dual licensing (ask us about the license for URAPIV or PyPIV)
2. Sell services - the name of our consulting company is a secret, but you can ask for a price quote :-)
Cloud Dancer (that’s the blog name of Jichul Kim) compiles some literature survey on PIV and related topics. Interesting. We can only suggest to include our work in Exp. Fluids on PIV and IR or XPIV, etc.
The copy of the list is:

If you're looking for completely free solution for your PIV needs and you're not satisfied with our URAPIV or PyPIV projects, you can download GPIV - GPL, ANSI-C package (also on the Sourceforge.net) with acquisition, analysis, all in one package. Good work:
Pinifarina ARC, The Turbulence Generation System, ohoh. almost crying. just look at it

Yes, PIV is also there. No doubts. It's not clear why Dantec (he he he) website is linked to the explanation of PIV (I mean, why not to URAPIV blog, for example?), but still, it's a nice application. very nice.

this is the noisy jet engine. How do you know where most of the noise is produced? right. you do PIV.
Recent article in J. Magnet. Reson. (i guess it is magnetic resonance) reports on 1 meter-per-second flow, measured with some special trick and NMR. That's what we call "serious" competition.
Biplab Das's blog reports about Smart-PIV project:
A New Technique To Improve Heart Implants’ Design
A technology used to measure airflow over wings can now be used to keep ailing hearts in good shape. Known as Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system, the technology has been optimised in a way that it could accurately measure the effects of medical implants on blood flow. This new avatar of PIV will help medical device manufacturers to improve the design of artificial implanted devices like heart valves and pumps. At the same time, it will be an indispensable tool for doctors to pin down and correct side-effects that affect patients having such implants.

There's a fascinating article over at the National Science Foundation about how hummingbirds fly. Here's an excerpt on their methodology:
In this study, the researchers applied "digital particle imaging velocimetry" (DPIV) to follow the flapping wings. DPIV is used in various applications to study flow characteristics of liquids and gases. By taking pictures with a special computer-coupled camera lighted with a laser, the distance traveled by individual particles seeded in a liquid or gas can be tracked through successive images. Hence, DPIV allows the researchers to follow the particles' movement image by image, like looking through the pages of a high-tech flipbook.
To observe the hummingbird in flight, the air in a wind tunnel was seeded with microscopic particles of olive oil, and digital images were captured every 300 microseconds as the bird hovered at a feeder. The wing beats caused the air to circulate, which in turn caused the floating oil particles to move. Computer-aided image analysis of each oil particle's position in consecutive frames allowed the scientists to reconstruct the lift and characteristics associated with each up and down wing movement.
So I feel really stupid now, which is fortunately kind of a hobby of mine.
