This data is a subset of the results of direct numerical simulations of a turbulent upward-directed flow of a liquid metal in a vertical channel.

Instructions:

The presented data includes 7 seperate time steps of a 3D velocity field on a rectilinear grid.

The vector fields are presented in the legacy VTK file format (little endian).

The original data and the underlaying simulation were introduced in:

“Buoyancy-affected backward-facing step flow with heat transfer at low Prandtl number”

Authors: M. Niemann and J. Fröhlich

International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, vol. 101, pp. 1237–1250, 2016.

Note that the present data is a subset of the previously published results.

Computation time for the simulations was provided by

ZIH Dresden and is gratefully acknowledged.
