Bug description
Setting
turbine_grid_points = 3
gives fairly coarse results in densely spaced farms and is not necessarily close to convergence. The error can be in the order of 5%. The variableturbine_grid_points
must be set to10
or higher to get close to convergence. Is this the expected behavior?To Reproduce
Here is a minimal example to reproduce the problem:
With a spacing of 3.5 D:
Where the error between the farm power with
turbine_grid_points=3
is about 6% off the converged value.And convergence with a spacing of 5.0 D:
Where the error is about 4% off the converged value.
Expected behavior
The default setting of
turbine_grid_points = 3
would be closer to convergence (less than 1% error).Floris Version
FLORIS 3.1.1 from the GitHub repository main branch (c2006b).
