Start Time for Turbulent Wind
Category: Wind data analysis

Problem

Regarding the “Start time for turbulent wind” there is a common misconception about this entry in Bladed.


Solution

This is not the time at which turbulent wind will begin in the simulation – this is the point within the turbulent wind file at which the turbulence is read from. So it does not allow you to delay the start of turbulent wind, but rather it allows you to start the turbulence from a different point in the file than the first point.
