Research output: NLRPoster

Abstract

The scientific goal of the ExaWind project is to advance our fundamental understanding of the flow physics governing whole wind plant performance, including wake formation, complex terrain impacts, and turbine-turbine-interaction effects. The primary application codes in the ExaWind environment are Nalu-Wind, an unstructured-grid computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, AMR-Wind, a structured-grid CFD code, and OpenFAST, a whole-turbine simulation code. In this poster we present the current status of the ExaWind software stack in the context of the modeling and simulation capabilities when the project started in 2016.
