DATASET NAME: Miranda

DATASET OWNER’S NAME AND CONTACT: Andy Cook (awcook@llnl.gov)

DATASET DIMENSIONALITY: One 3D scalar field

DATASET DIMENSIONS: 3072x3072x3072
x: 3072 (fastest varying)
y: 3072
z: 3072 (slowest varying)

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DATASET:
DOMAIN: x, y, z
VARIABLES: density

DATA NATURE: IEEE-754 FLOATING POINT
 
ENDIAN FORMAT (LITTLE, BIG): LITTLE

PRECISION (DOUBLE, SINGLE): SINGLE

Further description: 

The field corresponds to the full domain of a late time step of a
Rayleigh-Taylor instability direct numerical simulation run on a 3,072^3
uniform grid.  The initial conditions are a slightly perturbed planar
interface between two fluids of relative density 1 and 3.  The boundary
conditions along x and y are periodic.

The data set has been partitioned into 96 slabs of dimensions 3072x3072x32.
To reconstruct the full data set, just concatenate the binary files,
starting with density.00.f32 and ending with density.95.f32, e.g., on
Linux and macOS:

$ cat density.??.f32 > density.f32

The data set is named after LLNL's radiation hydrodynamics simulation code
Miranda that generated it.  For details on Miranda, see
