This is effectively implemented, but a 0.5 chord mount is hard-coded in. We could create a list from the turbine element geometry and pass this into the actuator line dictionaries, which then pass the values into the elements.

Fixed the implementation of this in df36d7e, and it looks way wrong now.

May need to reevaluate which model to use. Niblick (2012) describes a correction by Mandal and Burton (1994) that seems reasonable:

This could be implemented by adding new members for the leading and trailing edge velocity vectors for each element.

Bjorck (2000) uses this relation for dealing with the pitch rate:

Need to add this to the fvOptions dictionary for a turbine source, allowing for selecting different models, deactivating, etc.

Going to close this for now since both the Goude and MandalBurton models are implemented. May need to open another later after thoroughly testing their accuracy.
