ghorrocks is just really niceghorrocks is just really niceghorrocks is just really niceghorrocks is just really nice
Are you sure you have the rotation and torque vectors defined correctly? And the flow set up correctly? Have you manually calculated the rotor torque and rotation to check it makes sense?
