*AEROLOAD

Data format:

One line with five parameters

IMO ICOR THRESH RATIO IOUT

Status :

Optional

Restriction :

For dynamic analysis with wind turbines

Purpose :

To modify the aerodynamic loads on the blades computes by the aerodynamic solver

Details :

Parameter Description
MO By default, both aerodynamic force and moment are applied on the blades: IMO = 0 : default IMO = 1 : Only the force is applied, the moment is not transferred to the blade
ICOR By default, the aerodynamic forces and moments computed at the beginning of the timestep are applied at the blade:
ICOR = 0 : default
ICOR = 1 : if the absolute value of the force or moment is above the threshold value THRESH and the relative variation of the force or moment between t-dt and t (actual time) is greater than RATIO, then the force or moment et t-dt is applied at t (instead of the computed force at t)
THRESH Value of the threshold
RATIO Value of the ratio
IOUT IOUT=0: No extra output (default value) IOUT=1 : a file raero00i.txt is created with global aerodynamic forces and moments on the turbine in global and hub frame
