Thank you for building the openfast-adapter. I have some questions about the computational domain sizes in OpenFOAM.
In the Case CFD-turbine in the folder “openfast-adapter”, the vertices coordinates are defined as below:
convertToMeters 1;
vertices
(
( 7.02 -1.35 -0.82) // 0
( 7.02 1.35 -0.82) // 1
(-4.05 1.35 -0.82) // 2
(-4.05 -1.35 -0.82) // 3
( 7.02 -1.35 1.08) // 4
( 7.02 1.35 1.08) // 5
(-4.05 1.35 1.08) // 6
(-4.05 -1.35 1.08) // 7
);
blocks
(
hex (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7)
(32 96 24)
simpleGrading (1 1 1)
);
The size unit might be meter.
The rotor diameter and tower height of NREL 5-MW wind turbine are 126 m and 90 m, respectively. The dimensions of wind turbine in OpenFAST seem much larger than those in the OpenFOAM.
I modified the dimension of blockMesh as below:
convertToMeters 1;
vertices
(
( 1680 -480.0 0) // 0
( 1680 480.0 0) // 1
(-720 480.0 0) // 2
(-720 -480.0 0) // 3
( 1680 -480.0 960) // 4
( 1680 480.0 960) // 5
(-720 480.0 960) // 6
(-720 -480.0 960) // 7
);
blocks
(
hex (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7)
(160 288 96)
simpleGrading (1 1 1)
);
However, the FSI simulation seems failed.
How does OpenFAST receive the velocity mapped from OpenFOAM?
How do we define the sizes of CFD domain?
