@ssolson @hivanov-nrel Dumb question (asking yall since my vscode has you plus Kelly listed as contributors): In mhkit/river/performance, the "circular" and "ducted" functions contain this line: projected_capture_area = 4.*np.pi*(equivalent_diameter**2) . Shouldn't that be projected_capture_area = (1/4)*np.pi*(equivalent_diameter**2)?

@jmcvey3 I just took a look at the 62600-200 and I believe you are correct. I find the description here quite confusing but looking again it seems I made a mistake.
