A blind test on wind turbine wake modelling based on wind tunnel experiments: Phase I – The benchmark case

<p>This data set ("Data files.zip") contains the wind tunnel measurement data from Phase I of the Blind test on wind turbine wake modelling based on wind tunnel experiments organised during the TWEET-IE project (www.tweet-ie.eu).</p> <p>This updated version <strong>replaces</strong> the older versions 1.0.0 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10566401), 1.1.0 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11370112), 2.0 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.12188194) and 2.1 (https://doi.org/ 10.5281/zenodo.13918935). In comparison to the previous version 2.1 the data documentation has been updated to follow the template of the TWEET-IE project documents, indicating the Grant Agreement Number with the European Union and the Call Topic of the project.</p> <p>All tests were conducted in the closed-loop, low-speed boundary layer wind tunnel of the Chair of Aerodynamics and Fluid Mechanics at Technische Universit&auml;t M&uuml;nchen (TUM). The experiments concerned two wind turbines, aligned with the flow, one downstream of the other, at a distance of 5 diameters. For Phase I, no control was applied to the wind turbine models, which were operating at constant RPM.&nbsp;The turbine models, designed and manufactured by TUM, were instrumented with multiple sensors and actuators and had a diameter of 1.1M. Measurements include velocity, power and loads on the turbines. A detailed description of the experimental set up can be found in the accompanying document ("Data documentation.pdf").&nbsp;</p> <p>File "Submission procedure.zip" includes the format description and the templates of the output data that should be submitted by the participants in the blind test comparison.</p>
