Not supported yet

The definition of a current that varies throughout a time domain simulation, but does not have turbulence.

  • CurrentType: string = LaminarFlow
  • ReferenceHeight: number (m)
  • Inclination: number (rad)
  • Direction: number (rad)
  • DirectionVariation: object (a type of CurrentDirectionVariation)
  • MeanSpeed: number (m/s)
  • MeanSpeedVariation: object (a type of CurrentMeanSpeedVariation)
  • VerticalShearVariation: object (a type of CurrentVerticalShearVariation)
  • HorizontalShearVariation: object (a type of CurrentHorizontalShearVariation)
  • DirectionShearVariation: object (a type of CurrentDirectionShearVariation)

A type of Current

Properties

ReferenceHeight: number (m), optionalcoming soon

The reference height for the current field, above which the free-field current conditions take over. If this is omitted, the hub height will be used, and if there is more than one the highest hub height.

Inclination: number (rad), optionalcoming soon

The inclination of the flow relative to the horizontal plane.

default = 0.0

Direction: number (rad), optionalcoming soon

The (constant) direction of the current relative to the global X axis.

DirectionVariation: object (a type of CurrentDirectionVariation), optional coming soon

A defined variation in the current's direction.

Can be any of the following types:

CurrentType: stringcoming soon

Defines the specific type of Current model in use. For a LaminarFlow object, this must always be set to a value of LaminarFlow.

MeanSpeed: number (m/s), optionalcoming soon

The (constant) mean speed of the current for the duration of the simulation.

MeanSpeedVariation: object (a type of CurrentMeanSpeedVariation), optional coming soon

A defined variation in the current's mean speed.

Can be any of the following types:

VerticalShearVariation: object (a type of CurrentVerticalShearVariation), optional coming soon

A defined variation in the current's vertical shear.

Can be any of the following types:

HorizontalShearVariation: object (a type of CurrentHorizontalShearVariation), optional coming soon

A defined variation in the current's horizontal shear.

Can be any of the following types:

DirectionShearVariation: object (a type of CurrentDirectionShearVariation), optional coming soon

A defined variation in the current's direction shear.

Can be any of the following types:
