All dataset is stored in .xls format. The excel worksheet has velocity magnitude data and the corresponding X/Y/Z coordinates for each 2D plane. The X/Y/Z coordinates should match with the CAD and CFD geometry coordinates. The PIV data is posted in the table below for the following six flow conditions
Condition 1: 2.5 lpm and 2500 rpm Condition 2: 2.5 lpm and 3500 rpm
Condition 3: 4.5 lpm and 3500 rpm Condition 4: 6.0 lpm and 2500 rpm
Condition 5: 6.0 lpm and 3500 rpm Condition 6: 7.0 lpm and 3500 rpm
