Exp: Various Hypersonic Shock Boundary Layer Interactions (NASA/TM-2013-216604)
Return to: Data from Experiments - Intro Page
Return to: Turbulence Modeling Resource Home Page
The data on this page were provided by
Joseph Marvin of Analytical Associates, a contractor for NASA.
These experimental data represent a collection from
"Experimental Database with Baseline CFD Solutions:
2-D and Axisymmetric Hypersonic Shock-Wave/Turbulent-Boundary-Layer Interactions,"
NASA/TM-2013-216604,
November 2013 by J. G. Marvin, J. L. Brown, and P. A. Gnoffo. They include both 2-D and axisymmetric hypersonic shock
boundary layer interaction (SBLI) flows.
The data provided here on this webpage are only experimental; CFD reference grids and baseline solutions can be obtained from the
authors of the report.
The following description is paraphrased
from a README file that comes with the DVD associated with NASA/TM-2013-216604:
- Information for each experiment in the database is supplied in its own subdirectory, consisting of the experimental data files
as provided by the experimenter (which may vary in format), the experimental data reformatted by the database authors into
a common Tecplot ASCII file format. In some cases, the data is also supplied in excel spreadsheet format.
- In a few cases, wall temperatures are not given by the experimenter (or actually vary slightly during the runs).
To good approximation for heat transfer solutions for these high total temperature hypersonic ground test facilities,
a constant wall temperature of approximately "initial room temperature" of ~ 300K can be assumed if otherwise unstated.
- Within the subdirectory for each experimental case (e.g. B1.Schulein, etc.) there is a Readme.txt file providing more detail
for that particular experiment as to what is contained in that subdirectory.
Note that the Readme files mention CFD files that are provided in the original DVD; however, these
CFD files are not provided here, due to size limitations.)
- Permission to distribute the more recent experiments of Hillier/Murray/Williams, and of Schulein, et al.,
and of CUBRC (Holden/MacLean, et al.), was provided to the authors of NASA/TM-2013-216604 by the various parties.
The remaining experiments were conducted by NASA workers at NASA facilities.
Some of the cases provided herein were previously documented in the database created by Settles and Dodson for NASA.
