Add an actuator disk zone defined by the supplied closed
surface in the plot3d file "fileName". This surface defines the
physical extent of the region over which to apply the source terms.
Internally, we find all of the CFD volume cells that are inside
this closed surface and apply the source terms over these cells.
This surface is only used with the original mesh coordinates to
mark the internal CFD cells, and we keep using these cells even
if the geometric design and the mesh coordinates change. For
example, the marked cells can lie outside of the original
closed surface after a large design change, but we will still
use the cells that were inside the surface with the baseline design.
Add an actuator disk zone defined by the supplied closed surface in the
plot3d file "fileName". This surface defines the physical extent of the
region over which to apply the source terms. The plot3d file may be
multi-block but all the surface normals must point outside and no
additional surfaces can be inside. Internally, we find all of the CFD
volume cells that have their center inside this closed surface and
apply the source terms over these cells. This surface is only used with
