bye bye my blue is an unknown quantity at this point
did you know how can get torque VAWT?

I used functionobject in controlDict but It seems wrong... because torque value of single blade (total : 2blades) is minimum at 180 degrees and torque value is almost 0 at 180~360. but mine is not..



here is my controlDict
