Package windSimSuite :: Module sections :: Class Curve

Class Curve

source code

Made of a list of angles and a list of coefficients. The coefficient type will be either lift or drag. But for each type two different situations can exist: fully attached or fully separated.

Instance Methods

__init__(self, name='curve') source code

_get_angle_inst(self, angle)
Return the angle instance

source code

add_point(self, angle, coeff_value)
Add a point to the curve.

source code

init(self)
Initialize the process for getting back a coefficient from an angle.

source code

get_coefficient_from(self, attack_angle)
Return a coefficient from a given angle of attack.

Method Details

[hide private]

add_point(self, angle, coeff_value)

source code

Add a point to the curve. That is to say an angle and its corresponding coefficient value

get_coefficient_from(self, attack_angle)

source code

Return a coefficient from a given angle of attack.

Parameters:

attack_angle (a float) - the angle in radians.
