Possible to use multiple Reynolds number airfoil data? #128

Closed petebachant closed 4 years ago

petebachant commented 6 years ago

I was browsing the documentation and saw that multiple Reynolds number airfoil data, and interpolation between these, is not yet supported. Is this in progress on a branch, or is there some discussion on what needs to be done, etc.?

jjonkman commented 6 years ago

In one of our projects at NREL with an industrial client we have developed an extension to the AirfoilInfo submodule of OpenFAST's AeroDyn module that allows for interpolation of airfoil data between different Reynolds numbers or control settings. Greg Hayman (@ghaymanNREL) is the one who implemented this feature. I'm not sure if Greg has made a branch of OpenFAST with this change (awaiting to be merged into OpenFAST-dev, but I'll let Greg comment as to the status.

As an update, @ghaymanNREL sent me some source code on this, and we are working to get it merged and updated for the current version of AeroDyn. I will probably make a pull request with the updated code in the next few weeks.

This has been merged into OpenFAST/dev, so I think it can be closed, @rafmudaf.
