This text file should be used to state the assumptions in the modelling. An example is illustrated below. 

Assumptions: 

1. The flow is considered as incompressible allowing application of the incompressible Naiver Stokes equations. 

2. The flow is assumed to be invariant with the angular position of the rotor

3. The rotor flow is considered to be rotationally symmetric allowing it to be simulated as a 120 degree wedge with periodic boundary conditions.

4. The influence of the tower geometry is assumed to be negligable and hence is not included in the simulation. 

5. The freestream velocity is assumed to be uniform for both the turbulent and clean cases.
