Turbine data: Properties report

The turbine properties report is available from the popup menu on the data form. It reports the following:

Diameter

The rotor diameter, given by $2\,(r + l) \cos\theta$, where $r$ is the hub radius, $l$ is the blade length and $\theta$ the pre-cone angle.

Area

The rotor area, calculated from the rotor diameter.

Weight

The weight of the turbine, calculated from the mass of the hub and the blades.

Mass

The total mass of the hub and the blades.

Centre of mass

The centre of mass, reported relative to the turbine axes.

Mass moments of inertia

The total rotational inertia of the turbine hub and blades. This is reported as a tensor, with respect to the turbine axes, through the centre of mass.

Blade properties

For each blade the weight, mass and centre of mass are reported. The blade centre of mass is reported relative to the blade root.

Segment properties

Properties for each blade segment. This table includes details of segmentation, wing type, and the interpolated blade profile data at each mid-segment arc length.
