README
# Welcome to foxes
## Overview
The software `foxes` is a modular wind farm simulation and wake modelling toolbox which is based on engineering wake models. It has many applications, for example
- Wind farm optimization, e.g. layout optimization or wake steering,
- Wind farm post-construction analysis,
- Wake model studies, comparison and validation,
- Wind farm simulations invoking complex model chains.
The calculation is fully vectorized and its fast performance is owed to [dask](https://www.dask.org/). Also the parallelization on local or remote clusters is enabled via `dask`. The wind farm
optimization capabilities invoke the [iwopy](https://github.com/FraunhoferIWES/iwopy) package which
as well supports vectorization.
`foxes` is build upon many years of experience with wake model code development at IWES, starting with the C++ based in-house code _flapFOAM_ (2011-2019) and the Python based direct predecessor _flappy_ (2019-2022).

## Requirements
The supported Python versions are:
- `Python 3.8`
- `Python 3.9`
- `Python 3.10`
- `Python 3.11`
- `Python 3.12`
## Installation
Either install via pip:
```console
pip install foxes
```
Alternatively, install via conda:
```console
conda install foxes -c conda-forge
```
## Usage
For detailed examples of how to run _foxes_, check the `examples` and `notebooks` folders in this repository. A minimal running example is the following, based on provided static `csv` data files:
```python
import foxes
states = foxes.input.states.Timeseries("timeseries_3000.csv.gz", ["WS", "WD","TI","RHO"])
farm = foxes.WindFarm()
foxes.input.farm_layout.add_from_file(farm, "test_farm_67.csv", turbine_models=["NREL5MW"])
algo = foxes.algorithms.Downwind(farm, states, ["Jensen_linear_k007"])
farm_results = algo.calc_farm()
print(farm_results)
```
## Testing
For testing, please clone the repository and install the required dependencies:
```console
git clone https://github.com/FraunhoferIWES/foxes.git
cd foxes
pip install -e .[test]
```
The tests are then run by
```console
pytest tests
```
