WRF output as time-dependent inflow for AMR-Wind #1709
-
Hi, Is it possible to perform 2D file-based coupling between WRF and AMR-Wind? Specifically, I'm interested in a workflow where WRF outputs boundary plane data that can be used by AMR-Wind as time-dependent inflow boundary conditions. Is there any existing support for this, or any guidance on how to adapt WRF output to be compatible with AMR-Wind’s boundary input format? Thanks in advance Robson Passos |

You can convert the WRF data into the required input format using the Python tools shipped with amr wind to create boundary planes. However, WRF data is terrain- aligned unless inflow is from ocean. If you want to impose terrain aligned boundary data, you need to create the 2D array with zero wind speeds within terrain while making the boundary plane since AMR Wind is Cartesian code. Once you have done that, you can create the terrain file for the domain and run your simulations. We do not have an example for doing it yet but is doable. |
