theo_lift¶
Theodorsen’s solution for lift of aerofoil undergoing sinusoidal motion.
Time histories are built assuming:
a(t)=+/- A cos(w t) ??? not verified
\(h(t)=-H\cos(w t)\)
- param w
frequency (rad/sec) of oscillation
- param A
amplitude of angle of attack change
- param H
amplitude of plunge motion
- param c
aerofoil chord
- param rhoinf
flow density
- param uinf
flow speed
- param x12
distance of elastic axis from mid-point of aerofoil (positive if the elastic axis is ahead)
