Test data of one cylinder mass ratio 1.007 
The file names are as follows:
The first 8 digits are the date YYYYMMDD
The second 6 digits are the time HHMMSS
The next number is the spring constant in N/m.  e.g. k400 = 400 n/m
The next digits are the damping ratio
The final digits are the flow speed.  Flow speed is expressed in motor frequency.  Use FlowSpeedConverter.txt to convert flow speed to m/s.
