Sonic Boom Propagation Results for Case Study 1 of the MORE&LESS Project

This dataset provides the output of sonic boom simulations under various flight conditions, including predictions using Carlson’s method and higher-fidelity nonlinear propagation simulations (using propaBoom). The data is categorized by flight phase (climb, cruise, descent) and atmosphere models (ISA, SBPW3). Each flight phase includes ray tracing results and sonic boom signatures for multiple azimuth angles.

The dataset includes:

Carlson Method Predictions: Peak overpressure and signal duration for various off-track angles.

Nonlinear Propagation Simulations: Ray tracing data (ground intersections and angles) and shock wave signatures at the beginning of the non-linear shock wave propagation and at ground level.

Files are provided in CSV format for easy analysis using standard tools (e.g., Excel, pandas). The dataset contains simulation results for different azimuth angles, e.g., acoustic pressure, and ray intersections for thorough investigation of sonic boom propagation effects.

Folder Structure:

carlson_predictions.zip: Carlson method results for climb, cruise, and descent operating conditions.

readme.md: Readme file with information on the datasets.

Usage: Researchers can use these datasets to compare sonic boom prediction methods under the effects of flight conditions and atmospheric variations on sonic boom ground signatures.
