All data sets published on the CEDVAL web site are supposed to follow a simple file structure as well as a strict naming convention. Each data set must consist of the following files:
| DT-file | documentation of the test case, brief description of the setup and the data |
| PT-file | set of parameter defining the physical boundary conditions of the experiment |
| AF-file | approaching flow data (wind profile, boundary layer measurements) |
| TR-file | test results, point-structured list |
| EE-file | documentation of the estimated uncertainty of measurements (error bands) |
| RE-file | results of a test for Reynolds-number independence of the experiments |
| FV-files | visualization of test results, images taken from flow/dispersion visualization experiments |
| SS-files | drawings/sketches clearly documenting the experimental setup and geometrical relationships |
| CO-file | prividing a contact address of the author(s) of a data set |
Further Information can be found in the CEDVAL file naming convention table
For publication the CEDVAL-compatible set of data should be submitted as ASCII (data) and JPEG (FV/SS-files)!
