The CSV file dataset_summary.csv offers a summary of all runs and corresponding experimental parameters, allowing for easier access to the data.
The folder data/output_data contains 287 netcdf4 files corresponding to each experimental run used in the paper. For each run, the structure of the NetCDF file is the following:
-
attributes:
- particle_type: particle type used (silica sand, glass beads, etc..)
- label: filename
- lab: lab where this run has been performed
- run_oldID: Old filename, corresponding to the experimental notebook
- author: author(s) that acquired this run
- setup: setup used to acquire the data. See article.
- dataset: Dataset classification of this run, See paper.
-
dimensions(sizes): time(n)
-
variables(dimensions):
- At(): Atwood number
- Fr(): Froude number (adi. initial current velocity)
- H0(): initial heavy fluid height inside the lock
- H_a(): ambient fluid height outside the lock
- L0(): streamwise lock length
- L_1(): streamwise tank length after the lock
- Re(): Reynolds number
- S(): Settling number
- St(): Stokes number
- T_a(): ambient temperature
- T_f(): heavy fluid temperature inside the lock
- W0(): crossstream lock width
- a(): lock aspect ratio
- alpha(): bottom slope
- d(): particle diameter
- gprime(): specific gravity
- lamb(): adi. attenuation parameter
- nu_a(): ambient viscosity
- nu_f(): heavy fluid lock viscosity
- phi(): initial particle volume fraction inside the lock
- rho_a(): ambient fluid density
- rho_c(): heavy fluid mix density inside the lock
- rho_f():
- rho_p(): particle density
- t('time',): time vector
- t0(): characteristic timescale, t0 = L0/u0
- u0(): characteristic velocity scale, u0 = sqrt(gprime*H0)
- vs(): particle Stokes velocity
- x_front('time',): front position vector
Variables can sometimes possess the following attributes:
- unit: corresponding unit
- std: error(s) on the given quantity, calculated by error propagation from measurement uncertainties using the
uncertaintiesmodule (https://pythonhosted.org/uncertainties/) in Python. - comments: comments on the given quantity (definition, formulas, etc ..)
