compute_inflow_and_tip_loss(r, R, Wa, Wt, B, et1=1, et2=1, et3=1)

Computes the inflow, lamdaw, and the tip loss factor, F.

Assumptions: N/A

Source: N/A

Inputs:

r radius distribution [m] R tip radius [m] Wa axial velocity [m/s] Wt tangential velocity [m/s] B number of rotor blades [-] et1 tuning parameter for tip loss function et2 tuning parameter for tip loss function et3 tuning parameter for tip loss function

Outputs:

lamdaw inflow ratio [-] F tip loss factor [-] piece output of a step in tip loss calculation (needed for residual) [-]
