Whiffle LES model

Below are the release notes for the Whiffle LES model. Curious about how the Whiffle LES model works? Learn more here.

v14

  • Resolved issue with retrieving terrain data in Alaska.

  • Fixed sign convention in veer variable of turbine output.

  • Fixed issue with initialisation of soil moisture/temperature that led to issues with the development of the day-time boundary layers, in some cases with strong spatial soil moisture gradients with values around the wilting point.

v13

  • Upgrade default subgrid configuration based on extensive verification and validation to reduce numerical artifacts and improve TI representation.

  • Full implementation of AspTurbines library on GPU, leading to significant speed-up of runs with many turbines.

  • Reduced wind turbine actuator disk filter width for more realistic wind turbine and wind farm representation.
