Hydralab+ WINGS wave-current orthogonal interaction experiments - Flow velocities dataset

The dataset contains flow velocities of orthogonal wave-current experiments measured with Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters, recovered during the Hydralab+ Transnational Access Project laboratory campaign WINGS.
Experiments were meant to investigate nonlinear features of the combined flow and to study turbulent phenomena at the combined flow boundary layer.
The dataset can be used to validate hydrodynamics wave-current analytical and numerical models.
The laboratory experiments reproduced the combined hydrodynamics of waves and current interacting at a right angle. A set of wave and current parameter were varied within the experiments: current velocity, wave height, wave period. Plus, two bed conditions were reproduced: fixed sand (d50 = 0.0012, Run 1-18) and fixed gravel beds (d50 = 0.025 m, Run 19-36).
Velocity were measured in the current, wave and vertical upward direction by an array of Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters (x, y and z directions respectively). Resistive wave gauges were employed to recover wave surface elevation.
The dataset includes both raw and despiked (Goring and Nikora, 2002; Islam and Zhu, 2014) flow velocity time series. Reynolds averaging was carried out to obtain time-averaged, phase-averaged and turbulent velocities from instantaneous velocity time series.
