The equilibrium wake model instantaneously updates the induction in response to changes operating condition. This represents the steady state solution. It should not be used in linearisation as it would represent an instantaneous response of the wake, where in reality the response is significantly lagged. It is also not a good approach for time domain as the lagged wake response is not captured.

A type of DynamicWake

Properties

AreaAveragingMethod: string, optional

With the "over annulus" method, the dynamic wake is calculated over the entire annular ring. Induced velocities are averaged over the number of blades. If "none" is selected, the annulus is divided into segments to which separate dynamic wakes are applied.

default = OVER_ANNULUS

DynamicWakeType: string

Defines the specific type of DynamicWake model in use. For a EquilibriumWakeModel object, this must always be set to a value of EquilibriumWakeModel.
