Section: SyntheticTurbulence
This section is for setting turbulence injection parameters.
- SynthTurb.turbulence_file
type: String, required
Name of the netcdf file that contains the data.
- SynthTurb.wind_direction
type: Real, optional, default = 270.
The wind direction.
- SynthTurb.grid_location
type: List of Reals, required
Location of the middle of the turbulence box in meters.
- SynthTurb.mean_wind_type
type: String, required
The type of profile to use. Options are ConstValue, LinearProfile, and PowerLawProfile.
The following inputs are used only for PowerLawProfile.
- SynthTurb.zref
type: Real, required
The default reference height at the center of the turbulence grid.
- SynthTurb.shear_exponent
type: Real, required
The shear exponent value.
- SynthTurb.uref
type: Real list, required
The reference value of the velocity vector used to propagate the plane.
- SynthTurb.zoffset
type: Real, optional, default =
The offset in the z direction between the turbulence box and the simulation.
- SynthTurb.umin
type: Real, required
The minimum velocity cutoff in the mean power law profile.
- SynthTurb.umax
type: Real, required
The maximum velocity cutoff in the mean power law profile.
- SynthTurb.gauss_smearing_factor
type: Real, required
The length scale of the Gaussian kernel used to smear the forces. A value of 2 times the grid spacing is recommended.
- SynthTurb.time_offset
type: Real, optional, default = 0.0
The time offset between the data and the simulation.
