RCAIDE.Library.Methods.Aerodynamics.Vortex_Lattice_Method.deflect_control_surface.deflect_control_surface#
- deflect_control_surface(VD, wing)[source]#
Deflects the panels of a vortex distribution that correspond to the given VLM_wing.
Assumptions: If the user calls this function outside of generate_vortex_distribution, RCAIDE.Library.Methods.Aerodynamics.Common.Fidelity_Zero.Lift.postprocess_VD MUST be called right after
Source:
Inputs: VD - vehicle vortex distribution [Unitless] wing - a VLM_wing object that was generated in the [Unitless]
original generate_vortex_distribution call.
wing.deflection_last - last deflection applied to this wing [radians] wing.deflection - deflection to set this wing to. [radians]
Outputs: VD - vehicle vortex distribution [Unitless] wing - VLM_wing object [Unitless]
Properties Used: N/A
