It is working now! Turns out that it was just a setup problem, not actually a problem with the code. See the new images from MITWindfarm here: Howland-Lab/MITWindfarm#32 |

Nice work! Only one comment on the azimuthal coordinates in the aerodynamic model which needs to be addressed.

I think you might be missing an offset here on theta_mesh. If you rotate the rotor so that tilt+yaw = effective yaw then don't you need to correct the azimuthal position, theta_mesh, as well?

I am not 100% done here - for some reason, when I try to optimize for tilt from angles of (0 to 15 degrees) I get a different answer than with yaw. So I am trying to determine where that is coming from - but that could be anywhere from UMM to here to MITWindfarm. So I might as well open this.
