bemused¶

This is the documentation ofBEMused, a Python implementation of theBladeElement Momentum (BEM) method of modelling the flow around and loads on a windturbine rotor (or other kind of rotor).

This code was originally written forRick Lupton’s PhD thesis and used inarelated paper.

To use it you need to create abemused.Blade object defining your bladeparameters (chord, twist and thickness) and anbemused.AerofoilDatabasecontaining lift and drag coefficients (seeDefining aerofoil databases). You canthen usebemused.BEMModel to do the calculations.
