Python Code

Python scripts were used to identify interfaces and compute the vapor film thickness. To run the scripts, the unprocessed TIFF images for both the X-ray and visible light cameras are required. The python scripts are reported here for transparency.<br><b>Order of code execution:</b>(1) interface.py - Finds liquid-vapor and sphere-fluid interfaces<br>(2) filmThickness.py - Calculates vapor film thickness<br>(3) filmCompare.py - Compares vapor film thickness for each trial<br>(4) make_video.py - Create multi-panel video of results<br>(5) fft_interface.py - Compute discrete fast Fourier transform<br><b>Change in naming convention: </b>A different naming convention was used for storing and processing data from experimental trials than for reporting. For example, we used the name A1_roughSphere_xray_C1S0001 to denote data corresponding to the first experimental trial of the rough sphere. When reporting this information, we instead used the notation RO1 for simplicity. This was done for the smooth sphere, and thermoprobe as well.<br>
