Erm Data (low Re b/l)

Incompressible Boundary Layer Data:

The mean velocity and turbulence profiles obtained in a flat plate, incompressible boundary layer for Reynolds numbers based on momentum thickness of about 697 to 2889 are now available. Please click on the link given below to obtain the data files. The files are zipped files and the contents can be read by Excel.
The mean flow data are contained in the mfv folder, and the turbulent statistics are in the turb folder.  Some limited spectra are also available.
