Axisymmetric Body Aerodynamic Dataset

This is the dataset for the Axisymmetric body (0.16m diameter, elliptical nose cone, l/d = 5), collated by Max Varney (https://www.linkedin.com/in/max-varney/) on 2020/06/15. More information for the geometry and analysis using dataset #1 can be found in the paper "Three dimensional structure of the unsteady wake of an axisymmetric body", Physics of Fluids 31, 025113 (2019); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5078379. The paper is also available on the Loughbrough University research repository at: https://hdl.handle.net/2134/37058<br>Data was collected in the Large Wind Tunnel at Loughborough University, a 2.5m^2, closed working section, fixed ground open return tunnel. Details of the tunnel can be found in: https://hdl.handle.net/2134/6674<br>The CAD geometry for the wind tunnel and the axisymmetric body with its mounting are included in the dataset as ASCII .stl files, with the units in meters. Note: at the start of every experiment the yaw and pitch of the model was incrementally adjusted to produce a symmetric base pressure.<br>All data is presented in SI units and all measurements are from the origin of the model (on the base of the model, at the centre of the base) with x positive downstream and z positive up, using a right hand rule to find positive y.<br>There are two datasets. DATASET #1 - 30m/s (Re_d=3.2x10^5)Contains: Tomographic Particle Image Velocimetry and Base Pressures<br>DATASET #2 - 40m/s (Re_d=4.3x10^5)Contains: Planar (Y=0m, Z=0m and Z=0.04m) and Stereo (X=0.06m, X=0.12m, X=0.18m and X=0.24m) Particle Image Velocimetry, Base Pressures and Forces
