Dear NREL,
I hope this finds you well.
I recently ran into an error using Mann turbulence for a FastFarm simulation. I am trying to run a test case of two 15MW wind turbines. I am using the Mann model Python toolbox from this link: GitHub - jaimeliew1/Mann.rs: A Mann turbulence generator for Python written in Rust to generate the Mann inflow box. I generated a turbulence field using this toolbox with the following variables: [nx: 1024, ny: 256, nz: 128, Lx: 5115, Ly: 1275, Lz: 635] which are the inputs for the Python toolbox. These values yield a spatial discretization of 5m in all directions.
The toolbox then generated three “.bin” files, U_1234.bin, V_1234.bin, Z_1234.bin. I set up the FastFarm inflow.dat file as shown in the screenshot below. A screenshot of the “.fstf” file as well as the error message from running FastFarm_v3.5.2 are also shared below.
Additionally, is there any recommendation for selecting the low and high resolution discretization for the input file in FastFarm when using the Mann model? Should the discretization in both the low and high-resolution in FastFarm input file match that in the Mann box?
I would greatly appreciate guidance on this.
Kind regards.
