WAKESET: A Large-Scale, High-Reynolds Number Flow Dataset for Machine Learning of Turbulent Wake Dynamics

What this is

WAKESET is a large-scale CFD dataset of turbulent wake flow fields around a generalized XLUUV geometry, spanning forward speed and turning angle parameterizations.

Contents

• Volumes: CUBE_128 (regular 128×128×128 Cartesian grid; ML-friendly volumetric tensors)
• Planes: VERTPLN and HORZPLN (planar exports / slices on the CFD mesh or interpolated grids, depending on file type)
• Examples: Examples/Python/ (loader scripts and minimal usage examples)

File naming convention

Forward_[VVVV]_ms_Angle_[AA]_[TYPE]_[SUFFIX]

• VVVV: forward speed in mm/s (e.g., 5000 = 5.00 m/s)
• AA: yaw angle in degrees (e.g., 20)
• TYPE: CUBE_128, VERTPLN, HORZPLN (and/or your specific suffix variants)

Variables (units)

• Velocity components: u, v, w [m/s]
• Velocity magnitude: v_mag [m/s]
• Pressure: p_total, p_abs, p_dyn [Pa]
• Vorticity magnitude: omega_mag [1/s]
• Turbulence intensity: I [%]
