Experimental data to accompany the paper ‘The structure of a highly-decelerated axisymmetric turbulent boundary layer’ Journal of Fluid Mechanics, In press, 2021.
This dataset accompanies the paper ‘The
structure of a highly-decelerated axisymmetric turbulent boundary layer’,
Balantrapu N. A., Hickling. C., Alexander W. N., Devenport W. J., Journal of
Fluid Mechanics, in press, 2021. The turbulent boundary layer over an
axisymmetric body, relevant to vehicular configurations, is documented and
studies to discover the underlying physics in addition supplying information
towards advancing turbulence modelling and aeroacoustics predictions.
Measurements of the mean flow, turbulence and correlation structure were
documented using hotwire anemometry and Particle Image Velocimetry and are
discussed in the stated publication. Here, the relevant data are presented.
