These fields are available when using BET models in volume zones. The `betMetrics` field includes data from all BET disks with possible overlapping, while `betMetricsPerDisk` provides separate outputs for each disk to avoid overlap. + +The following variables are included in the betMetrics output: + +1. **`VelocityRelative`** – Relative velocity with respect to the rotating reference frame (non-dimensional). + +2. **`AlphaRadians`** – Local angle of attack in radians. + +3. **`CfAxial`** – Axial aerodynamic force coefficient. + +4. **`CfCircumferential`** – Circumferential aerodynamic force coefficient. + +5. **`TipLossFactor`** – Factor to model the effect of blade tip. + +6. **`LocalSolidityIntegralWeight`** – Local solidity multiplied by the integral weight. + ### Hybrid RANS-LES Output Variables The `SpalartAllmaras_hybridModel` and `kOmegaSST_hybridModel` output fields provide diagnostic variables for hybrid RANS-LES simulations. The specific variables included depend on whether you're using **DDES** (Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation) or **ZDES** (Zonal Detached Eddy Simulation) as the shielding function.
