Research data supporting: Noncirculatory Force on a Finite Thickness Body Encountering a Gust

Abstract

The Matlab files include flowfield and force balance data for cylinder gust encounters at nominal gust ratios of 0.5, 1 and 1.5. OpenAccess.Time - in seconds (s) OpenAccess.PositionX - in metres (m), centre position of cylinder OpenAccess.PositionY - in metres (m), centre position of cylinder OpenAccess.Velocity - in m/s, velocity of cylinder OpenAccess.xi - x-location of velocity vectors (m) OpenAccess.yi - y-location of velocity vectors (m) OpenAccess.UField: U-velocity field (m/s) OpenAccess.VField: V-velocity field (m/s) OpenAccess.Lift - lift force experienced by cylinder in Newto
