Replication Data for: Volumetric study of particle-wake interactions based on free falling finite particles

This dataset consists of the time-resolved three-dimensional velocity flow fields and the reconstructed point-clouds of the finite settling particles as described in the article titled: "Volumetric study of particle-wake interactions based on free falling finite particles" which is published in the Experiments in Fluids. The velocity vectors and the point-clouds were obtained via the Shake-The-Box technique and the Iterative Particle Reconstruction method, respectively. Four different particle geometries with a longest length scale of 12 mm and same volume (density ratio of 1.15) were investigated: sphere, circular cylinder, square cylinder and flat cuboid. The data set includes two different flow situation: 1) the particle was falling individually into the quiescent flow; 2) the particle was falling immediately after a group of 20 leading particles which generated a bulk wake.
