- At t=0, the RPM is zero for the wind turbine.
- Wind turbine slowly gains rotational speed due to the wind rotating the blades.
- The frictional torque is zero and the wind speed is 1 m/s
- OpenFOAM: dynamicFvMesh used with sixDoFRigidBodyMotion solver
- AMI used to allow mesh rotation
- 3 million grid cells
