This pull request updates all r-test models which used AeroDyn version 14 to now use AeroDyn version 15.
The following models still require work to determine the appropriate tau1_const parameter in the ADv15 input file:
AWT_YFree_WTurb
AWT_YFix_WSt
WP_VSP_WTurb_PitchFail
WP_VSP_WTurb
SWRT_YFree_VS_WTurb
Per @jjonkman :
"I would recommend users use DBEMT_Mod = 1 for most simulations (e.g., turbulence). I see DBEMT_Mod = 2 only useful for cases where the mean wind speed changes a lot over time, e.g. step-wind cases. With DBEMT_Mod = 1, I would set tau1_const = 1.1/(1-1.3*min(abar,0.5)) * R/Vbar_hub, which is the standard constant [where] abar is the rotor-averaged axial induction. Vbar_hub is the time-averaged wind speed at hub height. To calculate abar, you have to post-process an equivalent simulation using steady wind at the mean wind speed of interest."
All of the revised test cases vary from their baselines (some more than others).
