This directory contains one-dimensional probability density functions (p.d.f's)
of the velocity and pressure fluctuations (expresed in wall units) at all the
heights and several Reynolds numbers. The pdf's are computed along a window
centered at each of the different Reynolds numbers and spanning +/-(d99/2)
The files are written in binary (HDF5) and as MATLAB structures, saved as .mat
For instance, a HDF5 file contains:
-------------------------------------------------
Retau Dataset {2} : Karman number, Retau = utau*d99/nu, at the first and last point in x-direction.
Reth Dataset {2} : Reynolds number based on the momentum thickness.
re Dataset {1} : Inverse of the viscosity used in the code,
which defines the scaling in which the code works.
utau Dataset {1} : Friction velocity in computational units.
yd99 Dataset {456} : Wall-normal grid in outer units, y/d99
ygp Dataset {456} : Wall-normal grid in inner units, y+
mean Dataset {456} : Mean value of the variable as a function of Y, in + units.
rms Dataset {456} : Root mean squared value of the variable as a function of Y, in + units.
nbin Dataset {1} : Total number of bins used to compute the pdf.
bins Dataset {456, 300} : For each height, range used to compute the pdf: (Mean-8*rms) < Var < (Mean+8*rms)
pdf Dataset {456, 300} : Probability density function as a function of the height, in + units.
