How to get the velocity of points at rotor plane but not within the swept area?

[Darry6682]

Hi @rafmudaf Thanks for your great efforts making the FLORIS so powerful! I noticed that the TurbineGrid can only get the velocity at the rotor plane within the swept area, However, is there any method to obtain the nine-point profile for each WT as shown in this figure? This is important for my following research. Appreciate it if you could help!

Hi @Darry6682 ,

I'm sorry that we didn't respond to this sooner---it somehow slipped past me. You can sample arbitrary points in the flow using FlorisModel.sample_flow_at_points(), which accepts lists of (x,y,z) coordinates where you could like to extract the flow velocities.

See this example for usage.

Hope this helps, and again, I'm sorry for the slow reply here.
