Visualization and Data Analytics Challenges of Large-Scale High-Fidelity Numerical Simulations of Wind Energy Applications

Visualization and data analysis techniques are explored to alleviate big-data problems found in simulations regarding wind energy applications including full wind farm simulations with blade-resolved geometries for wind turbines. Techniques for streamlining workflows for large-scale simulations are investigated and instrumented in the WAKE3D software framework. In-situ analysis through Libsim is instrumented and used to export data of high-fidelity wind turbine simulations that is post-processed using FieldView and VisIt.
