Descrizione

This file contains the snowBedFoam simulations carried out to produce the results presented in: article not published yet. Content

1. /simulations Groups all simulations folders organised by parameter (azimuth, groupsize, height, interspace) and by type of experiment (single_ref, group_ref).
2. /simulations/[parameter]/ For each parameter multiple simulations were carried out. Each simulation folder follows the same naming systematic: helioplant_n#_h#_ARL#_BL#_az#_windDir#

• n: number of Helioplant units
• h: height-above-surface
• sp: regular distance between the units
• ARL: additional refinement level
• BL: boundary layer first cell height
• windDir: wind direction
• stag: staggered arangement (suffix) Here is an example of a folder content for a specific parameter (simulations/azimuth/):
• helioplant_n9_h07_sp10_ARL45_BL0015_az30_windDir5: following the naming systematic this folder corresponds to a simulation with 9 aligned Helioplant units with 0.7m of height-above-surface, an inter-unit distance of 10m an azimuth of 30° and a wind direction of 5°.

3. /simulations/[parameter]/[helioplant_n#_h#_ARL#_BL#_az#_windDir#] Each simulation folder contains multiple sub-folders (0/, 100/, 300/, constant/ etc.) and files that define the experiment. For each simulation, the files used in the processing scripts are the following:

• 0/Cx: contains the x coordinates of sampling grid cells and of the Helioplants structures.
• 0/Cy: contains the y coordinates of sampling grid cells and of the Helioplants structures.
• 300/kinematicCloud-massCheckPatterns: contains the snow mass distribution values [kg/m2] for each grid cell.
