check the effect of using "tipRootLossCorrType", I would think there is not reason to use a hub/tip loss model because LES is already 3D and captures the hub/tip vortex. Inclusion of a hub/tip loss model should decrease total power output ... but should test how much and if it physically makes sense to include it
