Add MIT yaw correction model (3rd pass)
This pull request implements an interpretation of the yawed actuator disk as described in Heck et al. (2023):
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-fluid-mechanics/article/modelling-the-induction-thrust-and-power-of-a-yawmisaligned-actuator-disk/3A34FC48A6BC52A78B6D221C13F4FC3A
The method assumes that$C_T'$ is invariant to yaw misalignment (an assumption still to be verified), and preforms a wind speed reduction based on the model equations.
Related issue
The structure of the code changes resembles those in the previous pull request (#638) , but now compatible with Floris V4.

Impacted areas of the software
A new operation model is added
mit_loss
(name to be decided).I added the code used to calculate the MIT operational model to
floris/core/mit_models
, but please move this to wherever you think is best.Additional supporting information
An example has been modified to show the operational models at different controller operation points. The added model is able to transition from below-rated to above-rated wind speeds in a realistic manner as shown in the following figure. I.e. The power output is "clipped" near rated wind speed, and is invariant to yaw far above rated wind speed.
Test results, if applicable
Relevant tests are still to be added.
