Ready for review.

Address #670 (request for more realistic example of floating wind farm, including turbine powers and visualization).

Note: uses "default" EmGauss parameters, which are subject to change and should be tuned to match observations from a particular farm.

TODO:

  • Create example, including necessary input files
  • Check tests, ruff, isort pass
  • Update examples index in documentation

Maybe one thing to add is how examples 24 and 29 are different. As a reader, I can guess that 29 has a larger problem size, but otherwise why would I need to go through example 24 if I can study 29?

Right, we now have three examples for floating, each looking at something slightly different:

  • 24 looks at how tilt affects turbine power and thrust curves, but does not include any wake effects
  • 25 looks at how tilt affects wake deflections, but does so by essentially forcing a tilt angle (so is useful for understanding, but is not very realistic)
  • 29 is a more realistic situation where the tilt is a function of wind speed. Both Cp/Ct curve effects and wake effects are included. So, it's the best example of how we would handle a real floating farm.

Maybe I can update the docs to explain this a bit?
@rafmudaf I've now provided a small update to the Examples Index to reflect this.

Excellent, thanks!

Looks great @misi9170 ! I know you are looking into the divide by zero warning on the EmG model, but otherwise good to go from my side!
