LiftWEC deliverable 3.3 - Dataset from 2D validation simulations of LiftWEC device using a high-fidelity RANS model

This dataset contains results obtained from numerical simulations of the LiftWEC model scale device in a two-dimensional setting. The simulations were done based on the experimental validation campaign conducted in the scope of the LiftWEC project and documented in deliverables D4.2, D4.3 and D.4. The corresponding experimental datasets are also available within the LiftWEC community on zenodo.

The numerical setup as well as a presentation and discussion of obtained results is available in LiftWEC deliverable D3.3 Tool Validation and Extension report, which also contains information on the potential flow model. All forces presented in this document are given as forces per unit span length. As the 2D RANS model was found to be rather sensitive to high fluctuations at this preliminary investigation stage, results are presented as mean forces and force fluctuations at rotation period, analysed by means of an FFT post-processing routine. The case identifiers correspond to the case numbering employed in the experimental model tests.
