Wind sensor
The
Wind
sensor can de added by clicking on the sensor icon in the wind part as shown in the picture below:
This sensor shows the reference wind speed for the type of wind selected. It provides the following fields:
| Field | Unit | Description |
| Reference speed | m.s -1 | Wind speed used as a reference for the current simulation |
| Angle | deg | Angle between the reference wind and the Northern direction (corresponding to the y-axis in the global coordinate system, see Coordinate systems ) |
| Average turbulence | deg | Average of the fluctuating component of the wind over thr turbulent wind field |
The wind shown in this output is the
Reference wind
. This means that it does not include wind shear, and that it will show the mean wind speed when a turbulent wind file is selected
