Description
This classic collection of test cases for validation of turbulence models started as an EU / ERCOFTAC project led by Pr. W. Rodi in 1995. It is maintained by Dr. T. Craft at Manchester since 1999. Initialy limited to experimental data, computational results, and results and conclusions drawn from the ERCOFTAC Workshops on Refined Turbulence Modelling (SIG15). At the moment, each case should contain at least a brief description, some data to download, and references to published work. Some cases contain significantly more information than this.

Remarks
For many years this database was part of the larger NEXUS portal. NEXUS is now gone, but UMIST continues to keep this very nice database publicly available. You have to register to get access but it is free for everyone. Highly recommended.
