URAPIV has been developed by the group of researchers at the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, Technion, which has changed its name to the Department of Environmental, Water and Agriculture Engineering of the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
The group began to work at 1997 on the PIV implementation project to flow measurements of the air turbulent flows. The first project was the impinging jet if the two-fluid atomizer apparatus and it is documented in our paper to the 3rd PIV symposium in Santa Barbara, CA, in 1999, and the M.Sc. thesis of Roi Gurka.

The group is:
Dr. Uri Shavit
Dr. Roi Gurka
Dr. Alex Liberzon

The URAPIV group is now distributed among three universities:

  1. Dr. Uri Shavit is in the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, at the Techion. Here is a link to his website >>>
  2. Dr. Roi Gurka is now an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, University of Western Ontario, Canada
  3. Dr. Alex Liberzon is a Senior Lecture at the Tel Aviv University, Department of Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer. He’s also visiting scientist at the Institute of Environmental Engineering (previously Inst. of Hydromechanics and Water Resources Management) , ETH Zurich, Switzerland.

The technical support regarding the PIV algorithms, hardware and software problems, it is better to contact us by e-mail to urapiv@gmail.com

If you wish to use the software please use the link to this website: URAPIV, an open source Matlab Toolbox for PIV analysis http://urapiv.wordpress.com
