Experimental data to accompany the paper ‘Wall Pressure Fluctuations In An Axisymmetric Boundary Layer Under Strong Adverse Pressure Gradient’ Journal of Fluid Mechanics
This dataset accompanies the paper ‘Wall pressure Fluctuations in an axisymmetric turbulent boundary layer under Strong Adverse Pressure Gradient’, Balantrapu N. A., Alexander W. N., Devenport W. J., Journal of Fluid Mechanics, in press, 2023. The wall pressure fluctuations under 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. Spectra and space-time characteristics of the wall pressure and its relation to the overriding turbulent flow are discussed are discussed in the stated publication. Here, the relevant data are presented.

1. DataDescription.xlsx
A Microsoft Excel sheet that describe each of the Data files including the nomenclature and organization, and a brief overview of the measurement. A sample code is included to assist the users with accessing and plotting the data. While basic details about the apparatus are mentioned in the worksheets, users are redirected to the companion journal publication.
