########### Description ########### The data in this directory is intended to serve as an input for others dealing with unsteady boundary-layer transition and has been discussed in the following papers: EXIF paper (thorough discussion of Test Case V, Test Case II is also included but not focused on): Weiss, A.; Wolf, C.C.; Kaufmann, K.; Braukmann, J.N.; Heineck, J.T. & Raffel,M. "Unsteady boundary-layer transition measurements and computations on a rotating blade under cyclic pitch conditions", Experiments in Fluids (2020)61:61, available under https://doi.org/10.1007/s00348-020-2899-7 ODAS paper (thorough discussion of Test Case II) Weiss, A.; Braukmann, J.N.; Kaufmann, K. "EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF UNSTEADY BOUNDARY-LAYER TRANSITION ON A DYNAMICALLY PITCHING SUBSCALE HELICOPTER ROTOR BLADE", 19th ONERA-DLR Aerospace Symposium, Meudon, France, June 3-5, 2019, available under https://elib.dlr.de/127485/1/ELIB-Eintrag-2019-WeissA-127485-Paper.pdf ########### Content for both Test Cases ########### RTG_blades_without_roots.igs - CAD geometry of rotor blade not including the rotor root part (blade only), which can be used for computational grid construction - The “theta_0, deg” parameter in the "boundary_conditions_TestCase_?.txt" files is the value to adjust the provided geometry with and states the installed angle of incidence with respect to the rotor plane ########### Content Test Case V ########### boundary_conditions_TestCase_V.txt - Ascii file containing test conditions for the data set presented (TestCase V, see in paper) DIT_results_TestCase_V.dat - Ascii file with experimental results presented in Fig. 17 of the publication - data structure is explained in file, explanations are commented using # Transmap_DIT_TestCase_V.png - Figure showing the data contained in DIT_results_TestCase_V.dat and essentially being the left part of Fig. 17 in the publication TAU_results_TestCase_V.dat - Ascii file with numerical results presented in Fig. 17 of the publication - data structure is explained in file, explanations are commented using # Transmap_TAU_onset_plus_Delta50pc_TestCase_V.png - Figure showing the data contained in TAU_results_TestCase_V.dat and essentially being the right part of Fig. 17 in the publication ########### Content Test Case II ########### boundary_conditions_TestCase_II.txt - Ascii file containing test conditions for the data set presented (TestCase II, see in both, EXIF and ODAS paper) DIT_results_TestCase_II.dat - Ascii file with experimental results presented in Fig. 12 of the ODAS paper - data structure is explained in file, explanations are commented using # Transmap_DIT_TestCase_II.png - Figure showing the data contained in DIT_results_TestCase_II.dat and essentially being the left part of Fig. 12 in the ODAS paper TAU_results_TestCase_II.dat - Ascii file with numerical results presented in Fig. 12 of the ODAS paper - data structure is explained in file, explanations are commented using # Transmap_TAU_onset_TestCase_II.png - Figure showing the data contained in TAU_results_TestCase_II.dat and essentially being the right part of Fig. 12 in the ODAS paper Transmap_TAU_onset_plus_Delta50pc_TestCase_II.png - Figure showing the data contained in TAU_results_TestCase_II.dat and being corrected by the intermittency function Delta50percent as described in the EXIF paper, the correction was not yet available in the the ODAS paper. ############### Note on setting the correct pitch angle ############### The xy-plane in the .igs file of the blade geometry corresponds to the plane of rotation. The blade geometry in the .igs file is provided in the setting theta_0 = 0 deg. The angle of incidence of the first section at r=0.16 m (r/R = 0.25) is inclined by -2/3 deg with respect to the xy-plane. The twist between r = 0.16 m (r/R = 0.25) and r = 0.65 m (r/R=1) corresponds to 9.33 deg. In order to apply the correct pitch setting, the blade needs to be twisted with respect to the xy-plane in the .igs file by the respective pitch angle. ########## Legal statement ############# Except where otherwise noted, this item's license is described as Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ According to the license the material can be used under the following terms: Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
