The LiftWEC project has published a new public dataset! The dataset can be downloaded from the LiftWEC Zenodo repository here.

This dataset contains 3-dimensional wave tank testing data for a wave-driven rotating hydrofoil model. The model tested is composed of one or two hydrofoils rotating around a horizontal axis, perpendicular to the wave direction. The model was tested in a range of regular and irregular seas. The data contains time series measurements of the model in the wave tank including; wave elevation, rotor angular position, forces on the hydrofoils, torque on the power take off and position of the hexapod holding the model. This data is the second set of wave tank data generated for the LiftWEC H2020 research project. The first set consisted of results for a similar device tested in 2D, while this second set contains results for tests conducted in 3D. For a complete description of the 3D testing and dataset, readers are directed to “LiftWEC Deliverable D4.8. Report on physical modelling of 3D LiftWEC concepts” with DOI 10.5281/zenodo.7669625.
