* JFE Data Bank Contribution * "Advances in Three-Dimensional Turbulent Boundary Layers With Emphasis on the Wall-Layer Regions" James P Johnston, Thermosciences Division, Mechanical Engineering, Stanford U., Stanford, CA 94305-3030 (Phone: (415) 723-4024, e-mail: johnston@stokes.stanford.edu) Karen A. Flack, Mechanical Engineering, U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD 21402-5042. ************** Some recent data sets on three-dimensional turbulent boundary layers are collected here. Each originated from a PhD program at the Stanford University Department of Mechanical Engineering. Individual data files have been placed in separate folders (directories) according to Case (refer to Table 1 in the paper): S&B (Case 1, Schwarz and Bradshaw 1992) is flow on the end wall of a 30 deg bend. F&J_bend (Case 2, Flack and Johnston 1993a) is flow on the end wall of a 30 deg bend. F&J_step (Case 3, Flack and Johnston 1993a) is the flow ahead of the 45 deg swept, forward facing step. D&J (Case 10, Driver and Johnston 1990) is 3D axisymmetric flow on a cylinder. L&E (Case 11, Littel and Eaton 1991), rotating disk flows. Basic references for each case are the dissertation reports of the first authors. Readme files will guide one through the data files. The original data files obtained from each author were copied as received. At a minimum, they contain all the original results from the dissertation reports including detailed profiles of mean velocity components (U,V,W), Reynolds stresses (u'u', v'v', w'w', u'v', v'w', w'u'), and some higher order statistics. 2D is a folder containing two data sets: (a) J&J, with two flat plate flow profiles from Johnson and Johnston (1989) and (b) Sp_1410 a direct numerical simulation by Spalart (1988). The profiles of mean velocity and turbulence Reynolds stresses presented in these two sets are very similar to the upstream conditions for the F&D_step and -bend cases. The files in these folders contain no readme information, but their interpretation is straight forward. ************** Data files on a number of earlier 3D boundary layer experiments are available in the JFE Data Bank Contribution of the paper by Olcmen and Simpson (1992), ASME J. of Fluids Engineering, Vol. 114, pp. 487-495. One other Stanford contribution is presented there, Anderson & Eaton (1989). **************
