What to submit?

Where should I upload my simulation results to?

If you signed up, you should have received a link to a private cloud folder hosted at NREL. Please upload all of your results to that folder, respecting the requested file naming convention which is detailed in Benchmark Simulations.

What should I upload?

Please go to Benchmark Simulations for detailed information on files requested. Here is a quick summary:

Benchmarks Phase 1: Code Calibration (COMPLETED)

  • Simulation setup (1 file)
  • Atmospheric inflow to the wind turbine (1 file)
  • Wind turbine response to the inflow (1 file)
  • Total of 3 files

Benchmarks Phase 2: Blind Comparison (COMPLETED)

Please keep results for each benchmark separate, in folders called neutral, unstable and stable.

  • Simulation setup (1 file)
  • Simulated flow (9 files, one per downstream distance: -2.5 D and 1 D through 8 D in 1 D increments)
  • Wind turbine response to the inflow (1 file)
  • Total of 11 files

Benchmarks Phase 3: Iteration (COMPLETED)

Please keep results for each benchmark separate, in folders called neutral, unstable and stable.

  • Simulation setup (1 file)
  • Simulated flow (9 files, one per downstream distance: -2.5 D and 1 D through 8 D in 1 D increments)
  • Wind turbine response to the inflow (1 file)
  • Text file (1 file) explaining any updates made to the code for the newly uploaded iteration of the solution
  • Total of 12 files
