Ok, so do you already have an exact idea of which actuator disk model you want to apply?

Without knowing much about this approach I guess it will boil down to updating the per-cell forces for the cells in the actuator disk domain every time step depending on the surrounding flow / model parameters. If so, a good way of implementing such operations in OpenLB is to write a “post processor” and assigning it to the respective cells for execution at a sensible step of the LB algorithm (commonly the post-stream “stage”). Our user guide provides an introduction on how to write such a post processor.
