getWAKE is a collection of Matlab subroutines and GUI for post-processing of bluff-bodies wake data measured using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), and analyzed by OpenPIV (or other) software. getWAKE accepts PIV wake data as .mat files extracted by the OpenPIV-spatial-analysis-toolbox. getWAKE allows the user to re-construct a full unsteady wake image from a set of PIV images recorded behind bluff-bodies using a cross-correlation algorithm. getWAKE can be also used for estimation of drag and cumulative circulatory lift forces from the wake data, thus enabling the user to estimate the loads exerted on the body generating the wake.
