INFORMATION ABOUT THE BINARY 2D CORRELATION FILES
=======================================================================
There are 8 different two-point spatial correlations stored at 22 wall-distances.
The file name is coded as: "Reth[1]_y[2].N[3].[4].c[5].bin", where
[1]: Reynolds number based on the momentum thickness.
[2]: Height in inner "p" or outer "d" units.
[3]: Height position number (see table in the README.txt one directory above)
[4]: Type of 2D-section: XY,XZ,ZY
[5]: Type of correlation:
Velocity : C_uu C_vv C_ww C_uv
Vorticity: C_oxox C_oyoy C_ozoz
Pressure : C_pp
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The files are written in the standard BINARY FORTRAN UNFORMATTED fashion, and
the Byte ordering of each 4-Byte word is LITTLE ENDIAN.
If you try to read these files in MATLAB or C, take into account that IFORT adds 4
bytes at the end and beggining of each record
The 1st record is a header with the following information:
nx,ny,nz,jindex,Nt
nx (4 Bytes integer): Number of grid points in the streamwise direction.
ny (4 Bytes integer): Number of grid points in the wall-normal direction.
nz (4 Bytes integer): Number of grid points in the spanwise direction.
jindex(4 Bytes integer): Index for the wall-normal grid in which the
correlation is recorded.
Nt (4 Bytes integer): Total number of grid points of the 2D correlation.
The 2nd record is a header with the following information:
d99,theta,utau,Retheta,Retau,yst
d99 (8 Bytes real) : 99% boundary layer thickness in computational units.
theta (8 Bytes real) : Momentum thickness in computational units.
utau (8 Bytes real) : Friction velocity in computational units.
Retheta (8 Bytes real) : Reynolds number based on the momentum thickness.
Retau (8 Bytes real) : Karman number, Retau = utau*d99/nu.
yst (8 Bytes real) : Wall-distance at which the correlation is
recorded; in computational units.
The 3rd record contains (in computational units):
xg,yg,zg
xg (8 Bytes real) : Grid in the streamwise direction of size nx.
yg (8 Bytes real) : Grid in the wall-normal direction of size ny.
zg (8 Bytes real) : Grid in the spanwise direction of size nz.
The 4th record contains the 2D correlation:
Corr (4 Bytes real) : Correlation of total size Nt.

Section XY: Corr(Nx,Ny)
Section ZY: Corr(Nz,Ny)
Section XZ: Corr(Nx,Nz)
