Abstract

This data set comprises the supplementary materials of a benchmark case of the flow around a fish shaped body for numerical ecohydraulic and biological studies including a validated numerical model. The set comprises both experimental and numerical data. Flow measurements of a 3D printed fish shaped body were conducted with a 2D LDA device. The data set also includes a computational fluid dynamics model validated against the LDA data. The numerical model is based on the open source software tool OpenFOAM. All settings for experiments and the simulation case file are included for further research.

Description

The datasets include a description file with settings, data structure, etc. and the matlab/python scripts for processing and generation of the plots.
Experiments:
-processed results: (velocities, turbulence intensity & kinetic energy)
-measurement quality assessment
Numerics:
-the geometry file
-initial case file with instructions
-last timestep of the simulations with pressure and velocity fields
