  1. an actuator disk modelling of left-hand-rotation rotor in quiescent flow:

"actuatorDisks":[
    {
        ...
        "axisThrust":[0,0,1],
        "forcePerArea":{
           "radius":[0.01, 0.05, 0.1],
           "thrust":[0.001, 0.02, 0],
           "circumferential":[-0.0001, -0.003, 0]
        }
    }

  1. an actuator disk modelling of right-hand-rotation rotor in quiescent flow:
