Parvancorina data

Here are the CFD data and Parvancorina 3D models from Darroch et al. (2017).

Ernietta Flume Experiment

Flume tank particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) experiment conducted at Arizona State University at Tempe. Captured on iPhone 10. Special thanks to M. Schmeeckle and S. Williams.

Ernietta Large Eddy Simulation (LES)

3D wireframe rendering of Ernietta LES 60 second simulation. Scale is m/s. Modified from Gibson et al. (2020).
