Figures & Tables

Table 1

Plot functions available in turbulucid.

NameProduced plot
plot_fieldEach cell is colored with the corresponding value of a given scalar field.
plot_vectorsArrows showing the magnitude and direction of a vector field.
plot_streamlinesStreamlines following a vector field.
plot_boundariesLines showing the boundaries of the geometry.
add_colorbarAdds a colorbar.
Table 2

Data extraction functions available in turbulucid.

NamePurpose
profile_along_lineExtract data along a line.
sample_by_planeRe-sample the dataset using a Cartesian grid.
distCompute distances from centres of boundary-adjacent cells to the boundary.
normalsCompute unit outward normals to every edge of a given boundary.
tangentsCompute unit tangent vectors to every edge of a given boundary.

Distribution of the wall-parallel velocity across the domain. Values normalized with a reference velocity, U0.

Figure 3

Velocity vectors in and around the recirculation region.

Figure 4

Profiles of wall-parallel velocity at different streamwise locations. Values normalized with a reference velocity, U0.
