HAWC2 Interfacing Framework

This document presents the interface between the HAWC2 (Horizontal Axis Wind turbine simulation Code 2nd generation) [1] aero-hydro-servo-elastic simulation tool and the WEIS (Wind Energy with Integrated Servo-control) holistic floating offshore wind turbine optimization framework [2], henceforth termed WEISHAWC2, that was developed under Task 7.1 of WP7 of FLOATFARM. This integration provides the basis for several optimization and design tasks within Work Packages (WPs) 1-6 and is therefore essential for the successful achievement of FLOATFARM’s objectives. This document should be read as a guide to the public release of WEIS-HAWC2, which is the actual deliverable.
