Rotor [Aero] sensor

This sensor takes aerodynamic and BEM parameters for all airfoil Blade aerodynamical station of the rotor into consideration. The rotor [aero] sensor can be added by toggling on the Sensor button in the Rotor part as shown in the image below:



For multi-rotor turbines, a sensor is available for each rotor

Eight different parameters are included, and they are listed in the table below. For each one, three values are given:
Avg: The average of all airfoil blade aerodynamical stations of the rotor
Max: The maximum value of all airfoil blade aerodynamical stations of the rotor
Min: The maximum value of all airfoil blade aerodynamical stations of the rotor
