Wind Turbine Technology: FAST Code Deadline: 1393/9/19
This homework aims to understanding the capabilities of the coupled code. It also
makes you to investigate and evaluate different options of FAST code’s
parameters in its different modules. In the other word, this homework contains a
series of questions about FAST code, which will help you in your next exercise
to know what changes you need to do to run a specific example.
You are supposed to give an implicit and distinguish explanation for each
question. Also, all answers must be in Persian.
1. Name all 3 modules of FAST and tell which two one are the main module.
2. Name all input files which need for running the FAST and give an
explanation for each one.
3. What is “Linearization” input file for?
4. When we use “CerTest” folder in our design by FAST code?
5. Which part of FAST is written in Simulink module of Matlab? (Just name
it.)
6. What are “Aerodata” and “Hydrodata” folders for?
7. Which one of input files use “Areodata” folder and how?
8. Which one of input files use “Hydrodata” folder and how?
9. Which one of input files use “Turbsim.hh” file and how?
10. How we generate random wave for subjecting to the structure? Do we
change the random numbers which we used to generate wind data?
11. How can we find natural frequency ( n ) of the structures? (Give more
detail)
12. Give an explanation for each parameter and its options if it has.
