FreeFlowModel

https://bladednextgen.dnv.com/schema/0.4.1/Settings/AerodynamicSettings/AerodynamicModel/MomentumTheoryCorrections/DynamicWake/FreeFlowModel.json

The Free-flow dynamic wake model represents a case where there is no induction, and so no momentum calculation. The lift, drag and moment polars are used directly. This could be appropriate to use in e.g. parked or idling. This option might be removed in a future re-design of the aerodynamic settings.

• DynamicWakeType: string = FreeFlowModel
• AreaAveragingMethod: string = OVER_ANNULUS | NONE

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 FreeFlowModel object, this must always be set to a value of FreeFlowModel.
