Mesh Independence Study for Double-Rotor Wind Turbine CFD and FSI Simulations

5.5 KB of simulation results comparing a novel Double-Rotor Wind Turbine (DRWT) with a conventional Single-Rotor Wind Turbine (SRWT). The data, authored by Yaru Yang and last updated on 2026-05-11, was generated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and One-way Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) simulations incorporating dynamic meshing and stochastic wind loading. Results show the DRWT achieved a 4.2% faster wake-velocity recovery and a 28.35% reduction in peak blade stress compared to the SRWT.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking aerodynamic efficiency of novel turbine designs based on wake-velocity recovery metrics
• Analyzing mechanical stress reduction in turbine blades based on time-varying peak stress data
• Validating simulation frameworks for fluid-structure interaction under stochastic wind conditions
• Comparing the performance of differential planetary gearbox configurations in wind turbines

Strengths

• Results include specific, quantified performance improvements: 4.2% faster wake recovery and 28.35% stress reduction
• Simulation framework incorporates advanced features like dynamic meshing, six-degree-of-freedom motion, and stochastic wind loading
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license

Limitations

• Dataset is extremely small (5.5 KB), indicating very limited scope or a summary of results rather than raw simulation data
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for statistical analysis
