This dataset contains all data necesary to produce the figures containing original data in the paper "The far wake of porous disks and a model wind turbine: Similarities and differences assessed by hot wire anemometry". It contains single wire hot-wire anemometry (HWA) of the far wakes of four wake generationg objects, one solid disk (SD), two different porous disks (non-uniform disk, ND, and uniform disk, UD) used as static wind turbine models, and a wind turbine (WT).
