Hello
I am trying to understand and simulate the tidal stream turbines in OpenFAST 4.04. In the r-test, two tests data is available (Fixed and Floating) . I have been running the MHK_RM1_Floating case. However, in the r-test file, the ServoDyn input file is missing. I would appreciate if its made available, Additionally, i assume, the effect of added mass and bouynacy can be take into consideration in the OpenFast 4.04. Thank you
Dear @Zahid.Ullah,
Regarding the MHK_RM1_Floating OpenFAST example, this model is set up with fixed generator speed, fixed blade pitch, and fixed yaw, so, ServoDyn is not needed and is not enabled.
And while rotor (and other component) buoyancy is accounted for in OpenFAST v4.0.4, added mass and fluid-inertial loads are not. Rotor (and other component) added mass and fluid-inertial loads will become available in the upcoming release of OpenFAST v5.0 later this year.
Best regards,
Thank you. You have been of great help.
