Bug report"windprofilType" #2208

Open BAbaka626 opened 2 months ago

dear@jjonkman : when i run turbsim,i face the error:

This summary file was generated by TurbSim (from OpenFAST-v3.4.1) on 13-May-2024 at 19:49:57.

ERROR: ReadInputFile:Invalid numerical input for file "TurbSim.inp" occurred while trying to read RefHt. ReadInputFile:The wind profile type must be "JET", "LOG", "PL", "IEC", "USR", "H2L", "TS", or default.

ABORTING PROGRAM.

I try to check my setup, I think there is no problem. image here is my setup. Could you tell my how to enhance it. Best regret!

Dear @BAbaka626,

I would guess that your TurbSim input file is not formatted properly, e.g., it looks like you are specifying ETMc to "DEFAULT", but I don't see quotes around "DEFAULT" and it appears that you have a line return afterword.

As with any input-file processing error, you could enable the Echo option to debug issues associated with input file formatting.

Best regards,

Dear @jjonkman : thanks for your generous help

now i face some new error,When I was reproducing the cases in your paper"Validation of FAST.Farm Against Large-Eddy Simulations",i create a .bts file"V8-TI10". when i run the fastfarm case.i face the error.

best regret!

@jjonkman here is the inp file. image image

and when i change the bts to another fastfarm can run.

BY the way ,i have another qustion : your fstf file update to a new version, image when i change the wake mod to 2, my out file cannot export the position of the wake center and the velocity decay of the wake image canyou tell my how can i get the result i want when i set the mod to 2

best regret!

Dear @BAbaka626,

I'm not sure I understand everything you are saying. The error in your first message implies that the OpenFAST primary input file name or path is not specified properly. This should be unrelated to what TurbSim wind data (bts) file you are using.

Regarding wake-related outputs associated with the curled wake model (Mod_Wake = 2), you can use outputs such as WkPosδTαDγ to output the center of the wake plane, but wake deficit outputs such as WkDfVxTαNβDγ are not valid because they are only valid in polar coordinates. Instead, when using the curled wake model (Mod_Wake = 2), you can access the wake deficits through the visualization (VTK) outputs, including OutAllPlanes = TRUE.

Best regards,
