 == Technical description of the PALM-WTM ==
-
+The PALM-WTM is based on the common actuator disk model (ADM) approach in which the rotor of a wind turbine is represented by a permeable disk that extracts energy from the flow by applying a thrust force at the disk. While in the frequently used simple version of the ADM (e.g. as proposed by [#calaf Calaf et al. (2010)] the forces are uniformly distributed and only the thrust force is considered (thus ignoring the torque), the WTM provides an advanced ADM (ADM-R) that considers varying forces over the rotor disk and rotation of the rotor blades although these are not resolved. The basic concept is similar to the ADM-R proposed by [#wu Wu and Porté-Agel (2011)] with several modifications. The rotor plane is divided into rings and segments such that the segments have an equal size which is a function of the grid spacing.
