Examples

Basic example

This example uses 9 turbines in a 3x3 configuration. It is used for verification purposes. One of the three flow field visualisations is the turbulence animation, showed here:

The configuration file is 2021_9T_Data.yaml in the data folder.

Nordsee One

Below is the wind farm layout used in the Nordsee One example:

Windfarm layout: Nordsee One

The configuration file is 2021_54T_NordseeOne.yaml in the data folder.

Velocity reduction visualization

The following video shows the velocity reduction field produced by the example workflow (first selecting the second project using the first menu entry, then selecting the second menu entry):

The example assumes an inflow with constant wind speed and no turbulence. The wind direction changes during the simulation from 255° to 195°. The windfield was simulated for 20 minutes, while running the simulation on a laptop with an 7840U CPU took only 1.56s (without visualization). The wind direction is the direction where the wind is coming from, clockwise positive, with defined as wind from the North.
