WINSENT Benchmark

The WINSENT benchmark is being performed under the umbrella of the IEA Wind TCP Task 57 Joint Assessment of Models.

Intro

The WINSENT benchmark is focused on atmospheric inflow, turbine response, and wake behavior in complex terrain. It follows the collaborative benchmarking style used in the prior JAM benchmark efforts, with staged participation and shared reference data.
