Walkthrough

This section demonstrates a typical Kynema-SGF workflow, walking through the steps required to simulate wind turbines in a turbulent atmospheric boundary flow. The turbulent flow conditions are established through precursor simulations, and then turbines are placed in the flow.

Note

This walkthrough is intended to provide an example of how Kynema-SGF is often used, but there are many variations and alternative workflows that Kynema-SGF provides. Please consult the User Manual, especially the capabilities list and input file reference, for additional details on other Kynema-SGF features and options.
