# TIDE: Turbulent Incompressible DNS Ensembles

A physically diverse 3D turbulence corpus: **15 configurations** of the same
incompressible Navier–Stokes system along **eight physics axes**, each shipping
**8–16 fully independent realizations** at **256³ in fp64** (134 trajectories,
~2.6 TB), released only after passing a fixed acceptance standard of
statistical gates and equation-level residual checks.

- **Code (solver, acceptance referee, benchmark):** https://github.com/Dyloong1/TIDE-dataset-benchmark
- **Citable DOI record (datasheet, code snapshot, split manifest):** https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21589489
- **Paper:** [arXiv:2608.04222](https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.04222) — *TIDE: A Physically Diverse 3D Turbulence Benchmark Dataset for Advancing Scientific Machine Learning* (under submission, ACM SIGKDD Datasets & Benchmarks Track)

> **All 15 configurations are live.** Each ships as its own repository (linked
> in the table below). This index repository carries the datasheet, the split
> manifest, and the per-configuration manifests.

## Structure

TIDE is one incompressible NS system: one solver, one grid, one acceptance
standard, and only the physics varies.

| Family | What is done to the dynamics | Axes |
|---|---|---|
| **Forced isotropic** | equations untouched, flow held statistically steady by stochastic injection | Reynolds number, forcing scale, forcing memory, helicity |
| **Extended physics** | exactly one ingredient added (a term in the momentum balance or a transported field) | rotation, stratification, passive scalar |
| **Free decay** | the drive removed | initial state (four controlled families) |

## Configurations

Each configuration lives in its own repository (so you can download exactly what
you need). Sizes are the on-disk zarr size.

## What a frame contains

Each configuration is one chunked zarr store, one frame per chunk (zstd):

```
<CASE>.zarr/
  u          [N, 3, 256, 256, 256]  fp32   velocity
  p          [N, 256, 256, 256]     fp32   pressure (spectrally solved, certified)
  theta / b  [N, 256, 256, 256]     fp32   passive scalar / buoyancy (5-channel cases)
  t          [N]                           physical time of each frame
  k_max_eta  [N]                           per-frame resolution margin
  seed       [N]                           trajectory index
```

Fields are computed in fp64 and stored in fp32; frames are exported every
0.05 T_L (about one Kolmogorov time). Every released frame is individually
Class I (k_max·eta >= 1.5).

## Usage

```bash
pip install -U huggingface_hub zarr
huggingface-cli download ydai17/TIDE-ou_relam90_256_fp64 --repo-type dataset \
    --local-dir ./tide-data/corpus
```

```python
import zarr
z = zarr.open("./tide-data/corpus/ou_relam90_256_fp64.zarr", mode="r")
u = z["u"][0]        # (3, 256, 256, 256) velocity of the first frame
print(z["t"][:5], z["k_max_eta"][:5])
```

The benchmark harness reads these stores directly; see the code repository for
the training and evaluation protocol, the acceptance referee, and the released
result rows behind every number in the paper.

## Files in this index repository
