bemused¶
This is the documentation of BEMused, a Python implementation of the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) method of modelling the flow around and loads on a wind turbine rotor (or other kind of rotor).
This code was originally written for Rick Lupton’s PhD thesis and used in a related paper.
To use it you need to create a bemused.Blade object defining your blade
parameters (chord, twist and thickness) and an bemused.AerofoilDatabase
containing lift and drag coefficients. You can then use
bemused.BEMModel to do the calculations.
