The `ACTDISK_DOUBLE_SURFACE` option, in this case, is setted to `true` because the actuator disk surface has been splitted in two parts: upstream and sownstream surfaces.

The `ACTDISK_TYPE` option, is used to chose the actuator disk boundary type. In this tutorial, we want to use a model that allows to consider a variable load distribution along the disk, and that also take the *swirl* term into consideration. The actuator disk type that meets these conditions is the `VARIABLE_LOAD`.

The `ACTDISK_FILENAME` option is used to specify the name of the actuator disk data input file. Further we will see how to generate this file.

The `MARKER_ACTDISK` option, requires the following arguments:

122
- Marker of the upstream surface of the actuator disk.
116
123
- Marker of the downstream surface of the actuator disk.

- 6 zero arguments. These arguments have a different meaning using different `ACTDISK_TYPE`. In this case, they are all setted to `0.0` because they are not needed.
