Hello everyone,

I'm trying to simulate a wind turbine with OpenFoam. I'm interesting, in the first stage, to use an actuator disk for describing the turbine.
Can anyone please give me general directions about specific solvers for this case ? are there any tutorials on this subject ?


Regards

Insta
