X-ray radiography 4D particle tracking of heavy spheres suspended in a turbulent jet

This database report 3d trajectories of heavy spheres suspended in a turbulent upward jet. A cylindrical tank is filled with water and the jet nozzle is placed on its axis on the bottom wall, and a constant flowrate (Q) of water is fed through the nozzle. Conditions at 1700 and 2200 mL/min are considered, and the number of spheres is varied between 1 and 12 (Nsphere). The spheres are glass and are detected using X-ray radiography at 60Hz. The 4d kinematics are obtained with this setup using radioSphere (E. Ando et
al., Measurement Science and Technology, 32(9), 095405, 2021). Each condition has a series of files named based on the number of spheres in the tank Nsphere and the flowrate Q, with each sphere of index isphere having its own file. Each file is 3 columns of doubles representing the 3d coordinates x, y, and z of the sphere, in mm, where z is the axis of the cylinder and the points up, against gravity.
