Abstract

A menu-driven turbulent flow data acquisition and analysis program, TURBDATA, which operates with the ASYST scientific software package on an IBM compatible microcomputer is presented. This program enhances the commercially available software by providing a user oriented flexible structure for hot-wire anemometer measurements with the ability to easily acquire and analyze data while retaining the features of the host software at desktop level. In its present configuration, the program TURBDATA enables the user to calibrate a hot-wire probe, acquire one-dimensional time series velocity data, compute a complete spectral analysis and plot the results. Both the benefits and the disadvantages of using commercial software are discussed.
