ActuatorDisk

Example Python script for left-handed and right-handed rotors

1. an actuator disk modelling of left-hand-rotation rotor in quiescent flow:

volume_entity.axis = [0,0,1]
fl.ActuatorDisk(
    entities = [volume_entity],
    force_per_area=fl.ForcePerArea(
        radius=[0.01, 0.05, 0.1],
        thrust=[0.001, 0.02, 0],
        circumferential=[-0.0001, -0.003, 0]
    )
)

2. an actuator disk modelling of right-hand-rotation rotor in quiescent flow:

volume_entity.axis = [0,0,-1]
fl.ActuatorDisk(
    entities = [volume_entity],
    force_per_area=fl.ForcePerArea(
        radius=[0.01, 0.05, 0.1],
        thrust=[0.001, 0.02, 0],
        circumferential=[0.0001, 0.003, 0]
    )
)
