Hello everybody,
I am trying to visualise the Testcases. I have followed the procedure for turning the switches on to produce files for Paraview and have been successful so far. However, the surface visualisation is available only for Testcases 18-24 which are using the NREL 5MW WT. I am aware that surface visualisations are possible only when AD15 input file is used for AeroDyn in the Testcase and also the coods of the airfoils of each airfoils are required. I found the S-series airfoil coods here wind.nrel.gov/airfoils/Shapes/S812_Shape.html.
- I would like to know if it is possible to produce surface visualisation for other Testcases.
- The airfoils used in Testcases are sometimes ‘S812_2’ and ‘S812_15’. Where do I get these two different airfoil coods?
- I viewed the airfoil coods files given for the TestCases18-24. What does the ‘x-y coordinate of airfoil reference’ mean?
Thanks!
Regards,
Tiasa
