Volumetric three-dimensional experimental measurement of a model wind turbine wake

DOI

This dataset contains time-resolved, volumetric, three-dimensional velocity fields of the near wake of a model wind turbine (WT). The velocity fields were obtained experimentally using particle tracking velocimetry (PTV), specifically the Shake-the-Box (STB) algorithm. The Eulerian velocity fields were calculated from the particle tracks using Vortex-in-Cell # (VIC#).

Four different cases are available, they differ in inflow free stream turbulence level (5% or 10%) and number of WTs present in the flow at the time of measurement (1 WT or 2 WTs).

In addition to the velocity fields, the rotor position for each time step, as well as characteristic scales, are included in each case.

The dataset supports the findings in the related publication.
