Wind Farm Parameters: Empty Type

JonLock1689 opened this issue · 0 comments

Description

When I input "empty" for the type of wind farm, the WIndSE code tries to simulate a turbine anyways. At least, the parameter is recognized in the beginning of the run. Then, an error happens as turbine data are expected somewhere in the code. It also looks that turbine parameters are needed for the empty type, such as hub height velocity; though, the velocity is needed as an input for my simulation which I'm trying to run.

Steps to reproduce issue

Please provide a minimum working example (MWE) if possible

  1. Copy a demo file such as 6-alm_3p4_rwt.yaml
  2. In the wind farm section, input the type of wind farm as empty
  3. Run the demo file. An error message happens as the code processes the parameters

Current behavior

The code expects turbine data for what is meant to be an empty domain.

Expected behavior

The empty wind farm doesn't take any turbine data to simulate fluid-flow in an empty domain such as a cavity
