There are four groups of files: 1. FREE group (12 files) - free stream data 2. P100 group (13 files) - plate c = 1.00" = 25.40 mm 3. P050 group (14 files) - c = 0.50" = 12.70 mm 4. P025 group (15 files) - c = 0.25" = 6.35 mm The file name "Pxxx_yyW.xcc" means: xxx - plate chord length yy - plate elevation with respect to the pitching airfoil axis W - additional symbol with to following code: (If yy is followed by a numerical x, i.e., if W is not filled, then the file corresponds to the unmodified plate): \item {} R - rounded shape \item {} S - sharp, one edged shape \item {} x - measuring column position: _3 -:x/C = -0.3000 0 -: 0.0000 1 -: 0.1500 2 -: 0.2250 3 -: 0.3375 5 -: 0.5250 7 -: 0.7125 9 -: 0.9000 where C = 4" = 101.6 mm is the chord length of the pitching airfoil and is used as a reference length. Case 1 - data from two columns in two separate files; cc measuring column information. a - measuring column a b - measuring column b Case 2 - data from both columns in one file: ab - columns a and b Data arrangement in the file (Mike can say much more about this): 1. Heading:(first line) dt nt d tp (dt - time interval between two consecutive masurements, nt - velocity data number in one point, d - controlling parameter, tp - pitching period) Second Line: nx ny nt (nx - number of columns, ny - number of points in one column, nt - as above) The data are arranged into ny (or ny*nx - in ab type files) data sets recorded in each individual point: Each set includes: x y u (point coordinates and mean velocity) v.x v.y v.x v.y v.x v.y (velocity components - nt pairs in one point ) These data are printed consecutively from left to right along the lines, in order to save space: Following the velocity data is a series of weights, one for each y-location on the measurement column (or column pair). A weight of 1.0 indicates a valid velocity measurement, and a weight of 0.0 indicates an invalid measurement.
