I'm a Ph.D. student studying wind turbine aerodynamics, and I need some assistance with FAST.Farm.I am using FAST.Farm to simulate the wake of a wind turbine. The inflow wind is defined as steady wind in the InflowWind module, setting the . However, the wake visualization results cannot output content beyond the 2D(2 Diameter).
I am using the NREL 5MW wind turbine model with a rotor diameter of 126 m. In the InflowWind module, the parameter WindType is set to 1, and the wind speed is 11.4 m/s. In the main input file of FAST.Farm, the parameter Mod_Wake is set to 1, corresponding to the Polar Wake. In the VISUALIZATION section, NOutDisWindYZ is set to 9, with the corresponding OutDisWindX specifying 9 values. In the OUTPUT section, NOutDist is set to 8, with the corresponding OutDist defining 8 values at 1D intervals downstream of the turbine. However, in the visualization results of the wake, there is no wake data beyond a downstream distance of 2 rotor diameters from the turbine. The results are as follows:
OXY Plane
OXZ Plane
The main input file of FAST.Farm is as follows: FAST.Farm.txt
I would appreciate any suggestions or insights on resolving this issue!
