Download Turbulence Realm-Tracker
A professional desktop application for tracking and analysing the movement of selected regions (e.g. bubbles) in fluid-dynamics videos. v3.2 streamlines the UI (removed 3D trajectory and GPU info) while keeping all v3.1 research-grade analytics: automatic multi-object tracking (MOT) of every bubble, watershed segmentation, fluid-physics outputs (Re/We/Eo), Eulerian flow fields, event detection, live camera capture, lens-distortion correction, uncertainty propagation, and one-click PDF reports. Installers bundle everything you need — no Python, no dependencies.
