TurbSim Input File. Valid for TurbSim v1.50; 17-May-2010; Example file that can be used with simulations for the NREL 5MW Baseline Turbine; note that UsableTime has been decreased in this file so that the file distributed with the FAST CertTest isn't as large ---------Runtime Options----------------------------------- 13428 RandSeed1 - First random seed (-2147483648 to 2147483647) RanLux RandSeed2 - Second random seed (-2147483648 to 2147483647) for intrinsic pRNG, or an alternative pRNG: "RanLux" or "RNSNLW" False WrBHHTP - Output hub-height turbulence parameters in binary form?
