Investigating the Level of Fidelity of an Actuator Line Model in Predicting Loads and Deflections of Rotating Blades under Uniform Free-Stream Flow

In this paper, the accuracy of an in-house Actuator Line (AL) model is tested on aeroelastic simulations of a Wind Turbine (WT) rotor and a helicopter Main Rotor (MR) under uniform free-stream flow. For the scope of aeroelastic analyses, the AL model is coupled with an in-house multibody dynamics co...
