The ORACLES database

This experimental database gives access to both the processed and the raw<br> (instantaneous) velocity data measured by 2-component laser Doppler velocimetry on the<br> ORACLES test facility. It contains more than 55000 files. The access to the raw data<br> gives the opportunity to the end-user to re-process them according to his needs.<br> The processed files are cast in a Tecplot compatible format. The files headers are<br> meaningful so that these files can also be read by other means (text editor, specific<br> routines…).<br> All the necessary technical information regarding these data can be found in the<br> directory “Documents” where are present: 1) the related paper (authors’ version)<br> published in 2009 in Flow Turbulence and Combustion (82:155-183), 2) the PhD<br> thesis of Phuc-Danh Nguyen (in French) and 3) the complete layout of the database.<br> Numerous “ReadMeFirst” files are also provided in the sub-directories to explain wherever needed<br> the content of the related files.<br>
