ibl.reference
Provides reference data for boundary layer flows comparisons.
This module provides a variety of classes that provide interfaces to experimental data or computational solutions for boundary layer flows.
Currently, this module provides classes that can provide comparison data from external resources. Currently a small number of experimental cases from the 1968 Stanford Olympics are included, and there is a class that can read a XFOIL dump file and report boundary layer parameters from it.
Stanford Olympics
The 1968 Stanford Turbulence Olympics is the informal name for the Computation of Turbulent Boundary Layers AFOSR-IFP-Stanford Conference that met in 1968. The proceedings are a two volume set with volume I dedicated to the numerical methods used to predict the turbulent boundary layer behavior. Volume II is a currated collection of high quality experimental data of a wide variety of turbulent boundary layer flows.
XFOIL Dump Files
XFoil is a tightly coupled panel code and integral boundary layer solver written by Mark Drela at MIT, (https://web.mit.edu/drela/Public/web/xfoil/). The dump files contain all of the information needed to characterize its solution of the integral boundary layer equation results from a solution. See XFOIL’s documentation file for more information.
