Module bem_node

source code

A blade element momentum node. The main class is described in BemNode.

Classes [hide private]
  _ForceArea
The resulting force from 2 aerodynamics sections.
  _CalculationSection
A section only used for calculating the load in one area according to its radial position and two others aerodynamic sections.
  _BoundaryForceArea
The top class for calculating the force area at the boundaries of the BemNode range of action
  _LowerForceArea
The lower boundary of the BemNode range of action, closer to the root.
  _UpperForceArea
The upper boundary of the BemNode range of action, closer to the tip.
  BemForce
A custom bindings force that finds its value from the aerodynamic sections, organised into force areas.
  BemNode
A node used for applying the Blade Element Momentum method.
