Description

OpenFAST is a publicly accessible wind turbine simulation software created by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). It enhances the earlier FAST v8 code, merging elements of aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, control mechanisms, and structural dynamics to facilitate detailed, coupled nonlinear aero-hydro-servo-elastic time-domain simulations of wind turbines. The tool accommodates various setups, such as onshore, fixed-bottom offshore, and floating offshore turbines. Designed to cultivate an open source developer community among research institutions, industry players, and academic circles, OpenFAST offers a comprehensive software engineering framework that includes well-structured source code, automated testing processes, and compatibility across multiple platforms. Significant updates from FAST v8.16 to OpenFAST feature the creation of a new GitHub repository that centralizes modules, glue codes, and compiling utilities; a revised versioning system; and the implementation of unit testing at the subroutine level. This evolution not only improves functionality but also enhances collaboration opportunities among users and developers involved in wind energy research.

Description

Stallion 3D rapidly produces aerodynamic performance metrics, including lift, drag, and moments, for both new and existing CAD models. It offers exceptional RANS results without the need for manual grid creation, as the grid generation process within Stallion 3D is entirely automated. This feature effectively removes one of the most time-consuming challenges in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Utilizing its unique CFD algorithm known as HIST, Stallion 3D accurately forecasts the aerodynamic characteristics of your designs. The software seamlessly imports CAD models and generates the necessary 3D aerodynamic data to validate your designs and support your success. It provides detailed reports on lift and drag forces, as well as yaw, roll, and pitch moments along specified coordinate directions. Additionally, it includes 2D line graphs that illustrate Cp, velocity, Mach number, density, and temperature at constant coordinate locations across the STL surface, allowing users to visualize parameters such as Cp (x) at various span locations along the wing. Overall, Stallion 3D streamlines the aerodynamic analysis process, making it more efficient for designers to achieve optimal performance.
