A MATLAB graphical user interface program for tomographic viscometer data processing

A MATLAB-based graphical user interface (GUI) program has been developed and implemented for tomographic viscometer data processing. The tomographic viscometer is based on a velocity profile measurement using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry (UDV). The main data processing includes the velocity image reconstruction, velocity profile generation, velocity profile curve fitting, rheograms construction and constitutive model fitting. This program enables users to process image data, to calculate rheological properties and to visualize results. The program code consists of a set of files, which can be modified to match other purposes as well. This program may also serve as a tool for real-time monitoring and process control.
