Model Validation for Propulsion (MVP) Workshop: Experimental Data

Volvo Bluff-Body Experimental Data:

Experimental data from the non-reacting and reacting bluff-body experiments conducted by Volvo [1-3] can be downloaded from the links listed below.  The data have been extracted from the figures in the publicly available papers [1-5] describing the experiments.  Please note that the figure quality limited the precision of the extracted data.  Formatting details can be found in the header of each file.
