UNH-RVAT baseline performance and near-wake measurements

Experiments, Open-access databases, Tidal energy,

The Reference Vertical Axis Turbine (RVAT) experiments were tidal turbine tests conducted “with a 1 m diameter, 1 m tall three-bladed vertical axis turbine in a towing tank” by Peter Bachant and Martin Wosnik of the Center for Ocean Renewable Energy at the University of New Hampshire. For more info, see their paper.

They have released a repository on GitHub, which contains the processing and plotting code, as well as the derived data set from the UNH-RVAT tow tank measurements performed in Spring 2013: github.com/UNH-CORE/RVAT-baseline

UNH-RVAT Reynolds number dependence experiment

Computational model, Experiments, Open-access databases, Renewable Energy Farms, Tidal energy,

Researchers, Peter Bachant and Martin Wosnik,  of the Center for Ocean Renewable Energy at the University of New Hampshire  “investigated—experimentally and numerically—the effects of Reynolds number on the performance and near-wake characteristics of a 3-bladed cross-flow turbine” For more info, see their METS paper.

Their are releasing the processing and plotting code, as well as the derived dataset from the UNH-RVAT Reynolds for free on GitHub: github.com/UNH-CORE/RVAT-Re-dep
