The FAST.Farm documentation says that the DEFAULT value of
k_VortexDecay
for the curled wake model is 0.0001, while the r-test input files say 0 and the source code actually uses 0.01. All should be changed to zero.Also, the modeling guidance in the FAST.Farm documentation for
dr
is incorrect. The modeling guidance for the polar wake model recommendsdr
<= c_max, which is too fine. The modeling guidance for the curled wake model recommendsdr
< D/10, which may be too coarse. The recommendation should be changed todr
<= D^Rotor/15 for both models.Also, the modeling guidance in the FAST.Farm documentation has typo in the recommended value of
DT_Low
for the curled wake model; that is,DT_Low
is not displayed properly.Moreover, the modeling guidance in the FAST.Farm documentation for
DS_Low
is incorrect for the curled wake model. The recommended value ofDS_Low
<=C_Meander
* D^Wake * V_Hub/(150 m/s) is correct for both, but the second expression ofDT_Low
* V_Hub^2/(15 m/s) is only valid for the polar wake model. For the curled wake model, the second equation should beC_Meander
*DT_Low
* V_Hub^2/(5 m/s), which follows from other recommendations, i.e., D^Wake = D^Rotor = 15 *dr
= 15 * 2 * V_hub *DT_Low
= 30 * V_hub *DT_Low
.This bug will not effect any tests because the curled wake model is not current tested.
