With a test cases highlighting wake plane issues in FAST.Farm OpenFAST/openfast#3277, in its solution it was pointed out poor test setup OpenFAST/openfast#3323 (comment).
The FAST.Farm input files comes from the r-test repository and some values are hardcoded for the NREL 5MW turbine. Many parameters are calculated within the toolbox, but some like f_c are not. The parameter f_c has a default value which is not recommended because a a-priori knowledge of the wind speed is needed. Such information is readily available within the architecture for the case setup for FAST.Farm of this toolbox.
