This dataset supports the thesis entitled "Towards a stable, flexible and efficient computational fluid dynamics toolkit for re-entry vehicle design optimisation - development, characterisation and initial findings" 
AWARDED BY: Univeristy of Southampton
DATE OF AWARD: 2023

DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA
This dataset consists of raw simulation output generated using the software OP2A. 
The data files suffixed with .plt are to be visualised with Tecplot, whilst those with .dat file extensions 
can be visualised using Python's matplotlib, or any similar software. 
Data is divided into 0d, 2d and 2d axisymmetric datasets, in line with presentation in the thesis. 
Data includes, the specific data presented within the thesis as well as that of the convergence process. 
Final data files (those whose visualisations are presented in the thesis) can be ascertained by the highest iteration number present within filenames.
