Large-Eddy Simulation data for the Fall of Warness tidal stream site, forced by a regional-scale model (LES outputs underlying the figures)
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This dataset contains the large-eddy simulation (LES) results plotted in the figures of the paper "Large-Eddy Simulation forced by a regional-scale model for tidal energy applications: Methodology and Validation at the Fall of Warness" (O.S. Mohamed, P. Ouro and T. Stallard, The University of Manchester).The LES were run with the in-house code DOFAS, forced one-way by the TELEMAC-3D regional model of the Fall of Warness (European Marine Energy Centre, Orkney, UK) through a volumetric fringe. The seabed is represented by an immersed boundary method and turbulence is introduced by a synthetic eddy method. Six half-cycles of 16–17 July 2014 (three ebb, three flood) were simulated on 1800 × 1200 × 54 m domains with a 3 × 3 × 1 m grid.The data are provided as plain-text CSV files, one folder per figure. They cover velocity and turbulence profiles at the ADCP locations, rotor-velocity time series, depth-averaged velocity fields, vertical sections, turbulence along and across the channel, the vertical-resolution test and the domain-position test. A README describes every file, the coordinate frames, the definitions and the units.Only LES outputs are included. The ADCP measurements and the TELEMAC-3D results shown alongside them in the paper are not redistributed here. The TELEMAC-3D data are openly available from the Open Resource Model (ORM v1.0, CC BY 4.0).
