High-Reynolds-Number Airfoil Surface Pressure and Force Data for Three Models

48 experimental cases of surface pressure and aerodynamic forces for three large-scale airfoils (NACA0012, NACA64, DU25) with a chord length of 4.0 meters. The dataset includes pressure coefficients, lift, drag, and moment coefficients, along with statistical descriptors like mean, RMS, PSD, and kurtosis. It was authored by Junyi Tang and last updated on April 22, 2026.

Use Cases

• Validate CFD simulations of airfoil performance based on surface pressure coefficient data.
• Analyze aerodynamic force fluctuations based on the provided root-mean-square (RMS) values.
• Study flow characteristics and turbulence based on power spectral density (PSD) and kurtosis statistics.
• Compare aerodynamic performance across three distinct airfoil geometries (NACA0012, NACA64, DU25).

Strengths

• Includes data for 48 distinct experimental cases.
• Covers three specific airfoil models (NACA0012, NACA64, DU25) with a large chord length of 4.0m.
• Provides multiple statistical descriptors (mean, RMS, PSD, kurtosis) for key aerodynamic quantities.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
