LES of wake flow behind 2.3MW wind turbine

This database contains inflow and wake flow behind a 2.3MW turbine simulated using large eddy simulation(LES) in EllipSys3D. All three velocity components are given for downstream distances from 1R to 23R, where R = 46.5m. Please see Liew, J., Urbán, A. M., and Andersen, S. J.: Analytical model for the power-yaw sensitivity of wind turbines operating in full wake, Wind Energ. Sci. Discuss., https://doi.org/10.5194/wes-2019-65for additional details. The velocity components are stored with the same format as Mann boxes. The data can be read using the following in Matlab: <br>% Dimensions of turbulence boxn1=10325; n2=68; n3=68;L1 = 9601.319092; % [m]L2 = 118.310131; % [m]L3 = 118.425435; % [m]<br>% FreestreamU0 = 8; % [m/s]R = 46.5;<br>% Loading resultscount=n1*n2*n3;fid=fopen('WT006.T1200s.ufluct'); M2=fread(fid,count,'float32');<br>U = U0*reshape(M2,n3,n2,n1);<br><br>% X and Y vectorsx = linspace(0,L2,n2)-L2/2;y = linspace(0,L3,n3)-L3/2;<br><br>figurehold oncontourf(x,y,U(:,:,1))<br><br><br>
