TurbVelocityFieldBts¶

class sharpy.generators.turbvelocityfieldbts.TurbVelocityFieldBts[source]¶

Turbulent Velocity Field Generator from TurbSim bts files

TurbVelocitityFieldBts is a class inherited from BaseGenerator

The TurbVelocitityFieldBts class generates a velocity field based on the input from a bts file generated by TurbSim. https://nwtc.nrel.gov/TurbSim

To call this generator, the generator_id = TurbVelocityField shall be used. This is parsed as the value for the velocity_field_generator key in the desired aerodynamic solver’s settings.

The settings that this solver accepts are given by a dictionary, with the following key-value pairs:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`print_info`	`bool`	Output solver-specific information in runtime	`True`
`turbulent_field`	`str`	BTS file path of the velocity file	`None`
`new_orientation`	`str`	New order of the axes	`xyz`
`u_fed`	`list(float)`	Velocity at which the turbulence field is fed into the solid	`<sphinx.ext.autodoc.importer._MockObject object at 0x7f8a28940208>`
`u_out`	`list(float)`	Velocity to set for points outside the interpolating box	`<sphinx.ext.autodoc.importer._MockObject object at 0x7f8a28940278>`
`case_with_tower`	`bool`	Does the SHARPy case will include the tower in the simulation?	`False`
