Actuator disk modeling of the Mexico rotor with OpenFOAM⋆

The implementation of an actuator disk with prescribed constant load for OpenFOAM was first presented by Svenning. In our presentation it was enhanced to compute local loads from local velocities by given aerodynamic lift and drag coefficients. The new model was then verified using the so called MEX...
