Tip loss and hub loss in AeroDyn

Wind & Water Rotor Aerodynamics
#1

Hi all,

I have been looking at the source codes for the AeroDyn_v15 module to find where AeroDyn forces the induction to go to 1 at the tip and the hub. Can someone please help me find where in the source code this calculation happens? I will be very grateful for your help.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Vishal

Vishal,

In subroutine BEMTU_InductionWithResidual(), the condition if ( p%FixedInductions(i,j) ) is where it sets the axial induction to 1 at the tip/hub when the tiploss/hubloss models are used.
