Welcome to the experimental-post-processing wiki! This Wiki describe the general use of the MatLab and Python experimental/simulation post processing codes in the repo.

Much of the post-processing code uses a unified "chrest" file format. This file is an hdf5 file with the following structure:

data:
  # attributes for metadata
  fuel: 
  oxidizer:
  caseLabel: (experimental 20G case)
  date:
  contact: 
  time: (snap shot time)

  # each data item hold a grid and associated fields
  grid:
    start: 0.0, 0.0, 0.0
    end: 1.0, 1.0, 1.0
    discretization: dx, dy, dz

  fields:
    # example fields are stored as structured cell data
    temperature
    sootVolumeFraction
    velocity
    heatflux_*
    density

The following are agreed upon names for variables:

• temperature [K]
• fv
• vel [m/s]
• qrad, qcond [W/m2]
• r [m/s]
• rdot [m/s2]
• zMix
