FLOWFarm.jl

Summary: Wind farm simulation tool for gradient-based optimization.

Authors: Jared J. Thomas, Andrew P.J. Stanley

Features

  • Compatible with ForwardDiff for gradiant-based optimization
  • Swap out models without changing anything else in the simulation setup
  • Smooth/continous model implementations
  • Runs on a single core, across multiple cores (threaded), or on multiple machines (distributed).
  • Designed so that new model implementations can be included by adding a single method
  • Allows for Wake Expansion Continuation (WEC) as described here

julia
(v1.x) pkg> dev https://github.com/byuflowlab/FLOWFarm.jl.git

Testing
