DATASET INFORMATION - Dataset containing the CFD simulations presented in the conference paper "On the Usage of PANS for the CFD Simulation of Wind Turbines", DOI: 10.23967/eccomas.2024.001. - Simulations performed in Navigator HPC cluster, from the LAC laboratory of Universidade de Coimbra, under the project "Medium and High-Fidelity Aerodynamic Models for Wind Farm Power Optimization" (2022.15647.CPCA.A2), funded by FCCN and RNCA. - For any inquires, please contact Tiago Gomes. WIND TURBINE GEOMETRY - DTU10MW Model-Scale, from the UNAFLOW project experimental campaign in Politecnico di Milano's wind tunnel. - As described in "UNAFLOW: a holistic wind tunnel experiment about the aerodynamic response of floating wind turbines under imposed surge motion", DOI: 10.5194/wes-6-1169-2021 SIMULATIONS DESCRIPTION - CFD solver ReFRESCO 2023.1.0 - Unstructured hexahedral meshes generated using Hexpress: - G1 - 16.7M cells - G2 - 21.9M cells - G3 - 59.5M cells - Turbulence models tested: - RANS - k-omega SST 2003 - DDES - k-omega SST 2003 - PANS - k-omega SST 2003 (fk tested of 25%, 50% and 75%) - Inputs: - controls.xml (ReFRESCO input parameters) - Outputs: - Residuals - Courant number - Forces on surfaces of the turbine - Moments on surfaces of the turbine - y+ - Linear solver iterations - Velocity monitors in the wake (replicating UNAFLOWs hot-wires) - Volumetric flow data in CGNS format (only for RANS case with grid G2 due to space limitations of the repository) Note: _unstd monitors include information for each non-linear iteration.
