Data format

Epsilon supports any type of aerodynamic data:

• Computational data
• Experimental data

CFD DATA

Several commercial CFD solvers are supported by Epsilon by default (non-exhaustive list):

• Fluent
• STAR CCM+
• elsA
• Open Foam

CFD data from other solvers can be easily read by writing a small Python script.

WIND TUNNEL DATA

Moreover, experimental data can also be analyzed with Epsilon: PIV (2D2C, stereo and 3D) as well as directional probes (five-hole probe and seven-hole probe). An example of PIV analysis with Epsilon is shown below (PIV data by courtesy of Y. Bury [1]).
