Dataset underlying the publication: Development and characterisation of a turbulent boundary layer facility at the Delft University of Technology

This dataset contains the experimental data accompanying a publication on the development and characterisation of a new turbulent boundary layer facility at the Delft University of Technology.

We provide data acquired via hot-wire anemometry (HWA), particle image velocimetry (PIV), particle tracking velocimetry (PTV), as well as time-resolved pressure-fluctuation measurements.

Measuements of a zero-pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer, interrogated at x=6.8 m, were conducted at four freestream velocities, of nominally 5, 10, 15, and 20 m/s, corresponding to a range in friction Reynolds number of 1400 to 5100.

The HWA, PIV, and PTV datasets contain wall-normal profiles of the turbulence statistics, accompanied by the relevant boundary layer characteristics and scaling parameters.

Time series are provided for the time-resolved measurements, namely the HWA and the pressure-fluctuation measurements that correspond to the background acoustics and wall-pressure spectrum.
