Description
RANS Wind Farm Flow Dataset
This dataset contains RANS (Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes) CFD simulations of wind farm flow fields.
Generated with the DTU Developed software PyWakeEllipsys.
Contents
- rans-data.zip - Compressed archive containing the flow field data (`.nc` files)
- open_rans_dataset.py - Example Python script to load and inspect the data
- pixi.toml - Environment specification
- pixi.lock - Locked dependencies for reproducibility
Installation & running
- Install pixi: https://pixi.sh
- Install the environment inside the downloaded directory:
pixi install pixi run python open_rans_dataset.py
This will automatically unzip `rans-data.zip` into a `rans-data/` directory, then load all `.nc` files from that directory.
