Properties

• Variant of the Actuation disk source that includes radial thrust

Usage

The option is specified using:

disk1
{
    type            radialActuationDiskSource;
    selectionMode   cellSet;
    cellSet         radialActuationDisk1;
    fields          (U);

    diskDir         (-1 0 0);   // disk direction
    Cp              0.1;        // power coefficient
    Ct              0.5;        // thrust coefficient
    diskArea        5.0;        // disk area
    coeffs          (0.1 0.5 0.01); // radial distribution coefficients
    upstreamPoint   (0 0 0);    // upstream point

}
