    Description:
    This dataset contains experimental measurements of a flat-plate airfoil passing through a large-amplitude transverse gust. The dataset contains an ensemble of of the airfoil-gust encounter to account for variability in the gust profile, and each realization contains time-resolved force measurements and planar PIV velocity fields. All data are stored within hdf5 files, and a Matlab script showing how the data can be read and manipulated is provided. Please see the ‘airfoilEXP_README.pdf’ file for more information. We recommend using the ‘airfoilEXP_example.zip’ file as an entry point to the dataset. and The dataset is part of “A database for reduced-complexity modeling of fluid flows” (see references below) and is intended to aid in the conception, training, demonstration, evaluation, and comparison of reduced-complexity models for fluid mechanics. The paper introduces the flow setup and computational methods, describes the available data, and provides an example of how these data can be used for reduced-complexity modeling. Users of these data should cite the papers listed below.
