This repository contains the code for my PhD dissertation: Aeroelastic Simulation of Wind Turbines Using Free Vortex Methods and Strategies for Accelerating the Computation

Check the Wiki here: https://github.com/Shujian2015/WInDS_Linux/wiki.

Obtain FAST and AeroDyn from NREL: https://nwtc.nrel.gov/technology-type/offshore-wind

Obtain Matlab version of WInDS: https://www.umass.edu/windenergy/research/software/WInDS

In this repo:

• Compiling: all the file to compile FAST
• Scource: all the source files for FAST/WInDS
• doc: documentations for WInDS
• Sample_test: several test cases for FAST/WInDS and bash files to generate input files.
• plot_win: files to make plots from FAST output files by Matlab
• doctoral_proposal_slides: my proporsal slides, which can provide a high level description of the research
• test_treecode_240sec: stand-alone test files for TreeCode Algorithm.
