Experimental dataset from wind tunnel campaigns with TUD-PROWIM-TIP: an instrumented tip-mounted propeller model with flap

Experimental dataset from wind-tunnel campaigns with an instrumented tip-mounted propeller model with flap (TUD-PROWIM-TIP), for the purpose of numerical validation or flow analysis. Acquired at Delft University of Technology's Low-Turbulence Tunnel in 2017.

The dataset contains the following measurement data:

External balance data of system forces/moments
Pressure-tap data of local pressure distributions and corresponding integrated quantities
Total-pressure distributions in between propeller and wing and in the wake of the setup
Velocity fields in the wake of the propeller-wing configuration

The test setup and results are described in the following paper:
