SWRT tests cases with tail fin do not match FAST7 results

Open andrew-platt opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

The SWRT cases now include a new tail fin model that theoretically is similar to the FAST7 cases (see PR #126).

Comparing the results for the cases with FAST7 shows some notable differences. There have been significant improvements to the AeroDyn that may account for the differences. Someone should double check this though.

Screenshot 2024-06-29 at 8 35 30 AM Example from the SWRT_YFree_VS_EDC01 case (Test16.out from the FAST7 CertTest). Note that SubAxInd has been turned off in the FAST7 run since TFinIndMod=1 is not available in the current dev branch of OpenFAST (3d476c595).

@abhineet-gupta may have some insights here.
