Wake model comparisons
wcomp runs the same windIO wind-farm cases through FLORIS, FOXES, and PyWake so the same wake model can be compared directly across independent implementations. Every chart on this site reads from a versioned dataset generated with wcomp's solver interfaces.
Generated 10/1/2026 against FLORIS 4.6.6, FOXES v1.9.3, and PyWake2.6.21.dev30+g7b7ffbca8.
