Matlab program for determining surface tension of droplet or bubble by linear regression
The Lung Mechanics Lab has developed software for determining surface tension of a droplet or bubble by linear regression.
The code is available for non-commercial use, subject to the license agreement below.
Please email Dr. Perlman at cperlman@stevens.edu to obtain a copy of the code.
Information about the method is available in "Perlman, Brandner and Hall, A linear-regression based method for determining surface tension from variation in interfacial curvature, Langmuir, In press," which should be cited on use of the code.
