Description
This dataset, collected as part of the NETTUNO research project, includes measurements from wind tunnel tests on a 1:75 scale model wind turbine. The primary focus of the experiment was to analyze how platform motion in different directions affects the aerodynamics of the wind turbine rotor and the development of its wake. The dataset consists of two components:
• Measurements of the aerodynamic forces and moments experienced by the rotor under various platform motion conditions.
• Wind speed measurements collected at multiple downstream distances from the rotor, capturing the velocity profiles and turbulence characteristics within the turbine's wake.
The dataset is designed to serve as a comprehensive benchmark for researchers and engineers working on floating wind turbine aerodynamics, offering valuable insights for optimizing wind farm layouts and for developing simulation tools.
