DNS of turbulent duct flow at Retau=180 and 360 (NEW LOCATION: https://kth-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/rvinuesa_ug_kth_se/EmTnJ7cN7jpNmoNQVrv0cZgB2SDu6QOTVjmKA7L5X-gfEQ?e=itPiJy)

Field
Instantaneous streamwise velocity field in the AR = 10, Retau=180 case,
with walls made transparent for clarity. Green and orange are low and high
velocities. Figure extracted from Vinuesa et al., Pys. Rev. Fluids 3 (2018).
