The near wall velocity field in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection with rough surface

   

Experiments by du Puits, Ronald and Scherge, Sabine

 

Available Data

TecPlot files of all three velocity components in horizontal planes at z = 1mm and z = z|Trmsmax (the wall normal distance where the temperature fluctuations are at their maximum) are available.

1. Time averaged velocity field at:

z = 1mm      : 2025_05_07_Avg_normalized_z=1.0mm_V1.zip
z = z|Trmsmax : 2025_05_08_Avg_normalized_z=Trmsmax_V1.zip
 

2. Standard deviation of the velocity field at:

z = 1mm      : 2025_05_08_Std_normalized_z=1.0mm_V1.zip
z = z|Trmsmax : 2025_05_08_Std_normalized_z=Trmsmax_V1.zip

 

Time series of the wall-normal velocity component w above the centres of the TOP and the VALLEY region at two distances z = 1mm and z = z|Trmsmax.

  1.  TOP, z = 1 mm : vz_TOP_at_z=1mm.zip
  2.  TOP, z = z|Trmsmax : vz_TOP_at_z=Trmsmax.zip
  3.  VALLEY, z = 1 mm : vz_VALLEY_at_z=1mm.zip
  4. VALLEY, , z = z|Trmsmax : vz_VALLEY_at_z=Trmsmax.zip
