Maximum domain size
Our advanced software leverages computations on GPU to achieve results within a day in normal conditions. This implies there is a limit on the number of computations that can be run directly coupled to what GPUs can handle.
When configuring a wind simulation it is possible that, after adding the geolocated elements such as turbines and metmasts, the LES domain needed is bigger than what the GPUs can allocate. What determines the maximum domain that can be run is a combination of spatial size plus orography complexity, meaning that allowed offshore domains tend to be bigger than onshore ones.
Whiffle is always making improvements in our software solutions so we can solve bigger domains with our SaaS solution on the cloud. At the same time, we have some inhouse hardware that allows us to run bigger domains through consultancy projects.
Should your project demand a larger domain beyond our current limitations, we welcome you to submit a special request. Our team is committed to assisting you in tailoring our services to meet your specific needs. Feel free to reach out to us, and we will work diligently to accommodate your requirements effectively.
Troubleshooting
Verify that there is not one or more turbines or met mast in a wrong position.
Move met masts and turbines closer together if your project allows it.
Contact Whiffle to request a simulation if current configuration can not be changed.
