This document serves both as a guide and a record for requirements management associated with design of retrofit rotors for the Sandia SWiFT turbines. The rotors will support a long-term experimental campaign. Data gathered during the campaign will support formal verification and validation of complex flow numerical models for prediction of metrics deemed important for wind energy plant efficiency. These integrated projects involve multiple years of effort, dozens of engineers and collaborators, and dozens of stakeholders in the form of the research community, National Lab staff, and DOE staff. Creating of formal, written requirements will ensure flow-down of activities from high-level goals, aid communication, and enable clear verification of activities. A custom requirements schema is created and described. Commercial requirements management software —IBM Rational DOORS—is used to organize the information and ensure traceability. This document serves as a record of the process as well as a record of the exported, detailed contents of the DOORS database.
