Video S1: Normalized instantaneous streamwise velocity field both on a vertical plane (x-z) going through the center of the turbine and on a horizontal plane at the equator height of the turbine (Note: the physical time corresponding to this video is 1 minute and 17 seconds, and the size of the blades is magnified for illustration purposes).

Video S2: Normalized instantaneous streamwise velocity field on a horizontal plane at the equator height of the turbine for two cases: when the turbine starts to operate (top) and when the flow has reached statistically steady condition (bottom) (Note: the physical time corresponding to both videos is 1 minute and 17 seconds, and the size of the blades is magnified for illustration purposes).
