Purpose

To specify the dynamic blade element momentum (DBEM) theory options.

Theory

Refer to AeroDyn Overview for further information.

Keyword Format

Two lines of data, defining dynamic blade element momentum theory parameters as follows:

DBEMT_MOD=DBEMT Model

TAU1_CONST=DBEMT time constant

 

Set DBEMT Model to 1 for the constant-tau1 model, set DBEMT Model to 2 to use a model where tau1 varies with time, or set DBEMT Model to 3 to use a continuous-state model with constant tau1.

If DBEMT Model=1 (constant-tau1 model) or DBEMT Model=3 (continuous-state constant-tau1 model), set DBEMT time constant to the time constant to use for DBEMT.

Description

DBEMT Model:

The options are Constant Tau1, Time Varying Tau1 and Continuous State.

DBEMT time constant:

The time constant to be used when DBEMT Model is Constant Tau1 or Continuous State.
