Numerical Solution
Note for students who are recomputing solutions for different tip speed ratios: after changing the rotation rate under "Cell Zone Conditions," recalculate the solution WITHOUT redoing the initialization. If you initialize from the inlet again, it will once again take 1300 iterations or so to converge, but if you recalculate from the previous solution, it will take a fraction of that time
