Physical and Numerical Modeling Open Source Files and Datasets for 1:6 Scale Reference Model 2 (RM2) Cross-Flow Turbine

Description

This submission includes Github links to open source files and data sets, including the numerical model, CACTUS, input files, source code and output files, CAD files of the 1:6 scale model DOE's RM2 cross-flow turbine, power performance data and wake flow measurements from the 1:6 scale model turbine collected at the University of New Hampshire, including experimental measurements of torque, thrust (drag), angular velocity, and carriage speed, which were used to generate plots of power coefficient and thrust (drag) coefficient vs. tip-speed-ratio.

21 This is a Github repository maintained by Dr. Pete Bachant (recent graduate of University of New Hampshire). In the readme for that repository are instructions for running a script to download all of the raw data (~10 GB) from figshare, and place it in the correct directories. https://github.com/UNH-CORE/RM2-tow-tank
0 CAD files--both for manufacturing and simplified for simulation--of the 1:6 scale Reference Model 2 cross-flow turbine designed, built, and tested at UNH. For more information see the GitHub link below. https://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1373870
21 This repository contains configuration files and scripts for modeling the DOE/Sandia RM2 cross-flow turbine with CACTUS. Note that the simulation may require an unreleased, non-backwards-compatible version of CACTUS, as indicated by the cactus submodule. https://github.com/UNH-CORE/RM2-CACTUS
