How to use this package

Generate superstatistical Kaimal wind field

To use pyforwind to generate a Kaimal wind field u_kaimal and its superstatistical (i.e., non-Gaussian) extension u_super_kaimal, import the SFW with the model parameters: integral length scale L, intermittency coefficient mu, horizontal wind speed at rotor hub V_hub, hub height h_hub, time length and diameter (T, diam), resolution (N_T, N_rotor), and the wind field type kind.

from pyforwind import SFW

swf_kaimal = SWF(L, mu, V_hub, h_hub, (T, diam), (N_T, N_rotor), kind='gauss')
swf_super_kaimal = SWF(L, mu, V_hub, h_hub, (T, diam), (N_T, N_rotor), kind='spatiotemporal')
u_kaimal = swf_kaimal.field(seed)
u_super_kaimal = swf_super_kaimal.field(seed)
