Statistics and TKE Budgets of Beta = 0, 1, 39 Turbulent Boundary Layer DNS

The statistical properties are presented for the direct numerical simulation of a self-similar adverse pressure gradient (APG) turbulent boundary layer (TBL) at the verge of separation. The APG TBL has a momentum thickness-based Reynolds number range from 570 to 13, 800, with a self-similar region from 10, 000 to 12, 300. Within this domain the average non-dimensional pressure gradient parameter beta = 39. These properties are compared to those of a beta = 0 and 1 case. <br>The statistical properties and KE budgets of these three flows in the domain of interest are provided as ASCII files.<br><b>Properties:</b>Kinematic Viscosity = 0.000285714Density = 1<b><br></b><b>DATAFILES:</b><br>ASCII files:ZPG_Beta0.dat mildAPG_Beta1.dat strongAPG_Beta39.dat<br>ZPG_Beta0_KEbudgets.dat<br>mildAPG_Beta1_KEbudgets.dat<br>strongAPG_Beta39_KEbudgets.dat<br><br>Plots:uu_reynoldsstress.pdfuv_reynoldsstress.pdfvv_reynoldsstress.pdfww_reynoldsstress.pdfKE_budgets_Beta39_figshare.pdf<br><b><br></b><b>References:</b>Kitsios, V., Sekimoto, A., Atkinson, C., Sillero, J.
