Research data supporting: "Boundary Layer Vortex Sheet Evolution Around and Accelerating and Rotating Cylinder"

The Matlab files include flow field data for the surging cylinder presented in the paper. The cylinder either purely surges or surges and rotates at a rotation ratio of 1 and 2.5. The variables within the matlab structure are: OpenAccessData.Time - time in seconds OpenAccessData.PositionX - x-coordinate of cylinder centre in metres OpenAccessData.PositionY - y-coordinate of cylinder centre in metres OpenAccessData.Velocity - Velocity the cylinder is travelling at in metres per second, m/s OpenAccessData.xi - the x-coordinates of the flow field in a mesh grid format, x location of velocity vectors OpenAccessData.yi - the y-coordinates of the flow field in a mesh grid format. y location of velocity vectors OpenAccessData.UField - the u-component velocity field (horizontal direction) in m/s in a mesh grid format. The z-direction of the matrix corresponds to a new time step. OpenAccessData.VField - the v-component velocity field (vertical direction) in m/s in a mesh grid format. The z-direction of the matrix corresponds to a new time step.
