Actuator_Disc_Theory

Provides methods for analyzing rotor performance using actuator disc theory.

This module contains implementations of the actuator disc theory for rotors, which is a simplified aerodynamic model that treats the rotor as an infinitely thin disc that induces a pressure discontinuity in the flow. The model is useful for preliminary design and analysis of rotors, propellers, and other rotating aerodynamic devices.
