Example: Compare TurbOPark model implementations#

"""Example: Compare TurbOPark model implementations
This example demonstrates a new implementation of the TurbOPark model that is
more faithful to the original description provided by Pedersen et al and uses
the sequential_solver, and compares it to the existing implementation in
Floris.
