DARPA

class sharpy.generators.gustvelocityfield.DARPA[source]

Discrete, non-uniform span model

\[U_z = \frac{u_{de}}{2}\left[1-\cos\left(\frac{2\pi x}{S}\right)\right]\cos\left(\frac{\pi y}{b}\right)\]

This gust can be used by using the setting gust_shape = 'DARPA' in GustVelocityField.

The GustVelocityField generator takes the following settings as a dictionary assignedto gust_parameters.

Name Type Description Default
gust_length float Length of gust 0.0
gust_intensity float Intensity of the gust 0.0
