Properties related to the blade element aspects of the Blade Element Momentum model.

  • UsePrandtlCorrectionForTipLoss: boolean
  • UsePrandtlCorrectionForRootLoss: boolean
  • UseDragInInduction: boolean

Properties

UsePrandtlCorrectionForTipLoss: boolean, optional

If true, a Prandtl correction for tip loss effects will be applied.

default = True

UsePrandtlCorrectionForRootLoss: boolean, optional

If true, a Prandtl correction for hub loss effects will be applied.

default = False

UseDragInInduction: boolean, optional

If true, the drag coefficient will be included in the induction calculations. This mainly influences the BEM solution near the root of the blade, where the drag force is significant.

default = True
