Computation <strong>of</strong> Helicoidal Paths<br />

• Helicoidal paths are computed based on<br />

simple actuator disk theory<br />

• Paths depend on estimated power<br />

coefficient<br />

– Paths are periodically updated during<br />

CFX calculation based on latest<br />

computed power coefficient<br />

• Helicoidal paths computed redundantly on<br />

each processor using a Junction Box<br />

routine<br />

– This allows each processor to<br />

compute induced velocities in perfectly<br />

parallel fashion<br />
