This repository contains the data used in the paper:Gadal, C., Mercier, M., Rastello, M., Lacaze, L. (2023). Slumping regime in lock-release turbidity currents. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 974, A4. doi:10.1017/jfm.2023.762where the slumping regime of turbidity currents is studied with respect to the initial volume fraction, the bottom slope and the particle settling velocity. The folder 'runs' contains 169 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 or saline water)run_number: NetCDF file nameexpe_type: always lock-release heresurface_type: can be 'open surface' or 'rigid lid'set_up: can be 'set-up 1' or 'set-up 2'run_oldID: run name corresponding to the experimental notebookgroups:initial_parameters:dimensions(sizes):variables(dimensions):Bottom slope(): bottom slopeCurrent density(): initial average (fluid + particle) lock densityGrain density(): particle density (not measured, estimated)Grain diameter(): particle diameterInitial Reynolds number(): initial Reynolds number, [rho_0 * u_0 * h_0 / mu]Initial Rouse number(): initial Rouse number, [v_s / u_0]Initial volume fraction(): initial lock particle volume fractionReduced gravity(): reduced gravity, [g*(rho_0 - rho_f)/rho_f]Settling velocity(): particle settling velocityTemperature(): water temperature (not measured)V0 (lock volume)(): lock suspension volumeWater density(): water densityWater dynamic viscosity(): water dynamic viscosity (not measured)h0 (lock height)(): suspension height inside locku0 (velocity scale)(): velocity scale, [sqrt(g'*h_0)]w0 (tank width)(): lock crosstream widthx0 (lock length)(): lock streamwise lengthscalar_variables:dimensions(sizes): tuples(2), x(1181)variables(dimensions):Av. shape('x',): current average shapeAv. shape head volume(): Volume per unit of width of the head part of current average shapeAv. shape tail volume(): Volume per unit of width of the tail part of current average shapeAv. shape volume(): Volume per unit of width of current average shapeBulk entrainment coefficient(): Bulk entrainment coefficient during slumpingCurrent Froude number(): Current Froude number, [u_c/sqrt(g' * h_b)]Current Reynolds number(): Current Reynolds number, [rho_0 * u_c * h_b / mu]Current Rouse number(): Current Rouse number, [v_s / u_c]Current head height (log fit)(): current height h_h coming from log fitCurrent height (benjamin fit)(): current height h_b coming from fit of Benjamin's shapeCurrent nose height (benjamin fit)(): current nose height h_n coming from fit of Benjamin's shapeCurrent nose height (log fit)(): current nose h_n coming from log fitGeometrical Froude number(): Current Geometrical Froude number, [u_c/sqrt(g' * h0)]Geometrical Reynolds number(): Current Geometrical Reynolds number [rho_0 * u_c * h0 / mu]Times lock opening (tstart, tend)('tuples',): Start and end times of lock openingTimes slumping regime (tstart, tend)('tuples',): Start and end times of constant velocity regimeVelocity (slumping regime)(): Current velocity during slumpingtime_series:dimensions(sizes): time(3071)variables(dimensions):Volume('time',): current volume per unit of widthcontour time series (x)('time',): x coordinate time series of the current contourscontour time series (y)('time',): y coordinate time series of the current contoursposition('time',): front positiontime('time',): time vectorvelocity('time',): front velocityMost variables possess the following attributes:unit: corresponding unitstd: error(s) on the given quantity, calculated by error propagation from measurement uncertainties using the `uncertainties` module (https://pythonhosted.org/uncertainties/) in Python.comments: comments on the given quantity (definition, formulas, etc ..)Note that all variables related to the current shape are not available for experimental runs carried out in set-up 2.The script ReadPlotData.py shows how to display the structure of a NetCDF file, and gives examples of how to load some variables and plot them by reproducing some of the paper's figures.The CSV file 'dataset_summary.csv' offers a summary of all runs and corresponding experimental parameters, allowing for easier access for testing purposes. *Note that errors are not given in this file.*OpenData License: licence-ouverte-v2.0If you use this open data in your work (research or other), please cite in your bibliography the following reference doi:https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2023.762
