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 TurbulentCurrent object, this must always be set to a value of TurbulentCurrent.
MeanSpeed: number (m/s)coming soon
The mean current speed upon which the turbulence will be added. This must correspond with the mean current speed used to create the turbulence file.
TurbulenceFilepath: stringcoming soon
The filepath or URI of the turbulence file.
TurbulenceIntensity: numbercoming soon
The turbulence intensity in the longitudinal (global X) direction. This is used to scale the turbulence provided in the file.
TurbulenceIntensityLateral: numbercoming soon
The turbulence intensity in the lateral (global Y) direction. This is typically in the order of 80% of the longitudinal turbulence intensity.
TurbulenceIntensityVertical: numbercoming soon
The turbulence intensity in the vertical (global Z) direction. This is typically in the order of 50% of the longitudinal turbulence intensity.
CentreTurbulenceFileOn: string, optionalcoming soon
The method used to position the data in the turbulence file relative to the turbine. If any part of the rotor exceeds this box, the simulation will terminate with an exception.
RepeatTurbulenceFile: boolean, optionalcoming soon
If true, the turbulence file will be "looped". If false, the turbulence will be 0 in all three components once the end of the file has been reached. Using part of a turbulence file may invalidate its turbulence statistics, and no effort is made by Bladed to ensure coherence at the point when it transitions from the end of the wind file back to the beginning.
EvolvingTurbulence: object(EvolvingCurrentTurbulence)coming soon
The settings for evolving turbulence, if required. In the case of a normal turbulent wind field, the turbulence is "frozen" and approaches the turbine at a constant block. Although this doesn't match physical reality, it is a particular problem for Lidar - as it gives them a "perfect" insight into the oncoming wind field. In order to represent the nature of real turbulence, a second turbulence file is superimposed on the windfield so that it "evolves" as it moves forward. This is computationally expensive, and is usually applied only to the Lidar readings - although it can be applied to all the wind values in a simulation.
TurbulenceFileStartTime: number (s), optionalcoming soon
The time into turbulent wind file at start of simulation. This can be used to synchronise the wind file with simulation.
default = 0.0
