MEXICO Project

Ihe 'Model rotor experiments under controlled conditions' (MEXICO) project has produced a database of unique, detailed aerodynamic measurements on a representative wind turbine model, taken in the largest wind tunnel of the EU.

The data (100 Gb in total) are organised in a self-explanatory way on external hard discs and available to all participants. On the disc, the time series (of pressures and strain gauges) are provided in raw form.

Furthermore, some processed data are stored in ASCII format. The disc also contains a data point overview and the basic software with which the raw time series can be processed. The particle image velocimetry (PIV) data are given in processed form, i.e. in the form of ASClI data of the velocity vectors at different X-Y-Z positions.
