The `CENTER` option contains the coordinates of the actuator disk center, expressed in the grid reference system.
The `AXIS` option contains the components of the unit vector normal to the actuator disk surface.
The `RADIUS` option is used to specify the actuator disk radius.
The `ADV_RATIO` option contains the advance ratio of the propeller defined as <img src="https://render.githubusercontent.com/render/math?math=J=\frac{V_\infty}{nD}">, where *n* are the propeller rounds per second and *D* is the propeller diameter.
The `ADV_RATIO` option contains the advance ratio of the propeller defined as $$J=\frac{V_\infty}{nD}$$, where *n* are the propeller rounds per second and *D* is the propeller diameter.
The `NROW` option isused to indicate the number of radial stations of the actuator disk in which we assign the load distribution.
The next row is a dummy row, so it is skipped.

The input is interactive, and requires the following data:
1. Number of radial stations (where local data should be generated).
2. CT: the total thrust coefficient defined using the "Renard" definition.
3. R: The propeller radius expressed in meters.
4. r_hub: the hub radius expressed in meters.
5. J: the advance ratio.
6. Vinf: the free-stream velocity expressed in m/s.
2. $$CT$$: the total thrust coefficient defined using the "Renard" definition.
3. $$R$$: The propeller radius expressed in meters.
4. $$r_{\textrm{hub}}$$: the hub radius expressed in meters.
5. $$J$$: the advance ratio.
6. $$V_{\textrm{inf}}$$: the free-stream velocity expressed in m/s.
7. Here, the script asks if you want to use the tip loss Prandtl correction (*yes* is the default choise).
8. N: if you chose yes in the previous stage, it requires also the number of propeller blades.
8. $$N$$: if you chose yes in the previous stage, it requires also the number of propeller blades.

Once the input is given, the script provides 3 plots showing the tip loss Prandtl correction function, the axial and rotational interference factors and the thrust and power coefficients distributions along the non dimentional radius.
