FOXES
- velocity: Bastankhah2014k = 0.03, induction = Betz
Uses Betz induction, quadratic wind-speed superposition, grid16 rotor sampling, rotor-point partial wakes, and the rotor_wd wake frame. No separate wake-added turbulence model is configured.

Model parameters and implementation notes
The windIO inputs and their software-specific mappings are listed below. Matching literature-model names do not imply identical solver, rotor-averaging, superposition, turbulence, induction, or yaw treatments.
windIO case inputs
- velocity: bastankhah2014k_star = 0.03
PyWake
- velocity: BastankhahGaussianDeficitk = 0.03
Uses PropagateDownwind with squared-sum superposition, GridRotorAvg rotor averaging, effective local wind speed, and ct2a_mom1d induction. No separate wake-added turbulence model is configured.
Uses the lower-level BastankhahGaussianDeficit class rather than PyWake's Bastankhah_PorteAgel_2014 literature preset.
