Steady vortex method assuming helicoidal wake shape

The settings that this solver accepts are given by a dictionary, with the following key-value pairs:

Name	Type	Description	Default

`num_cores`	`int`	Number of cores to used in parallelisation	`0`
`convection_scheme`	`int`	Convection scheme for the wake (only 2 tested for this solver)	`2`
`dt`	`float`	time step used to discretise the wake	`0.1`
`iterative_solver`	`bool`		`False`
`iterative_tol`	`float`		`0.0001`
`iterative_precond`	`bool`		`False`
`velocity_field_generator`	`str`	Name of the velocity field generator	`SteadyVelocityField`
`velocity_field_input`	`dict`	Dictionary of inputs needed by the velocity field generator	`{}`
`gamma_dot_filtering`	`int`	Parameter used to filter gamma dot (only odd numbers bigger than one allowed)	`0`
`rho`	`float`	Density	`1.225`
`rot_vel`	`float`	Rotation velocity in rad/s	`0.0`
`rot_axis`	`list(float)`	Axis of rotation of the wake	`[1.0, 0.0, 0.0]`
`rot_center`	`list(float)`	Center of rotation of the wake	`[0.0, 0.0, 0.0]`
