Airfoil data related to OC5 PhaseII SEMI analysis #1515

Open DaraeShin opened 1 year ago

DaraeShin commented 1 year ago

Hi all,

I am simulating OC5 PhaseII SEMI using OpenFAST.

Referring to the "Definition of the OC5 DeepCwind Semisubmersible Floating System" report, the airfoil types are Cylinder and AG04 Mod. It is different from the airfoil type applied in OC4 PhaseII SEMI.

The information of airfoil is explained as follows in the Appendix D, but it is difficult to apply it to Openfast Aerodyn v15.

I would like to know how to apply "Cylinder and AG04 Mod airfoil data" to Aerodyn v15.

Dear @DaraeShin,

NREL has not developed a fully automated script to upgrade airfoil data input files from AeroDyn v14 format to AeroDyn v15 format. That said, there are scripts to aid in the process, e.g., see: https://github.com/OpenFAST/matlab-toolbox/blob/main/Utilities/WritePolarAD15.m.

Best regards,
