turbinesFoam - v0.0.3

• An axial-flow turbine actuator line source has been added.
• Flow curvature corrections are implemented for crossFlowTurbineALSource.
• Actuator line and turbine sources work in multiphase and compressible flow.
• Actuator line and turbine sources runs in parallel, though is relatively slow.

turbinesFoam - v0.0.2

• Three variants of the Leishman-Beddoes dynamic stall model have been implemented, though they have not yet been verified and debugged.
• Tutorials have been cleaned up substantially, and the unsteady actuator line tutorial now pitches sinusoidally.
• actuatorLineElement now uses cell point interpolation to detect inflow velocity, which greatly reduces "noise" in the angle of attack and relative velocity calculations.

turbinesFoam - v0.0.1

Actuator line and cross-flow turbine AL sources can compute loading and add momentum to flow field according to static foil data.
