Liquid Oxygen Post
S. E. Rogers, D. Kwak, U. Kaul, 1986
Liquid Oxygen (incompressible) flow across a flat plate with a
cylindrical post rising perpendicular to the plate (and therefore the
flow). The simulation is modeling a flow internal to a rocket engine.
A Space Shuttle Launch Vehicle engine has a region in which many such
posts obstruct flow of liquid oxygen to promote better mixing.

Visualization
Interesting features of the flow are velocity changes just upstream of
the post, and two counter-rotating vortices downstream of the post, where
the greatest mixing occurs.
Since the fluid is incompressible, pressure is constant; visualizations of
density or pressure are very boring.
Data Format
The data are in plot3d, single-zone, binary.
All floating point data are in 32-bit IEEE format, SGI endian.
