Hi everybody,
it is, I guess, a small request that I have, but I would appreciate it very much. If I am wrong, please correct me.
I would like to be able to do parametric studies with WTPERF, using the InputTSR (Tip Speed Ratio) flag, not only on Cp (Power Coefficient), but also on the Thrust and on the Flap-Bending Moment.
At the moment, the output quantities of the parametric study are:
- Rotor Power
- Power Coefficient
- Rotor Torque
- Flap Bending moment
- Rotor Thrust
The only adimensional quantity is the Power Coefficient. Activating the InputTSR Flag I get a TWO-Dimensional matrix, where I can interpolate from any given couple of data: [TSR, Pitch]. The Omega is (correctly) ignored.
I would like to be able to do the same for Thrust and Flap Bending Moment (being dimensional, at the moment they depend on THREE values: [omega (rpm), wind speed, Pitch].
This should mean adding two possible outputs:
- Coefficient of thrust
- something like a Coefficient of Flap Moment
both will be function only of [TSR, Pitch]
Well, I hope I explained myself…
Best regards
Claudio
