Dataset: Turbulent flow statistics at Constant Power Input (CPI) with and without drag reduction

This database contains the result of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) project FR2823/5-1 "Flow Control under Constant Power Input (CPI)". Please refer to the README below for further information.

        STATISTICS OF TURBULENT CHANNELS WITH AND WITHOUT 
             DRAG REDUCTION AT CONSTANT POWER INPUT

This database features:

• high quality turbulent flow statistics for canonical channel flows driven at Constant Power Input (CPI), Constant Flow Rate (CFR) and Constant Pressure Gradient (CPG)
• global energy budgets and single point Reynolds stress budgets of turbulent channels driven at CPI in their canonical state or in a drag-reduced state achieved via spanwise wall oscillations or opposition control
• a comprehensive study of several predetermined and feedback active strategies for turbulent drag reductions in channel, comprising parametric studies of the increase in energy efficiency for different values of several control parameters
