Wind turbine simulation

[yzl429]

Dear developers of xcompact3d,
May I ask how to use diameter multiples to represent the values of xlx yly or zlz in input.i3d for wind turbine simulation.
If I want to set up an inverse thermosphere on top of the ABL, where do I need to make modifications to implement it.
I look forward to your reply

Sorry for the slow answer. Wind turbines simulations in Xcompact3d are with dimensions (so the size of the domain is in meters or kms). You can then adjust the domain size based on the diameter of the turbines.

Regarding changing the boundary conditions, this will be in Case-ABL.f90. You will see that there is a subroutine for the inflow condition, the outflow condition and for the bottom wall. You will have to create a new subroutine for the top boundary condition to replace the current implicit free slip boundary condition.
