deflect_control_surface_strip(wing, raw_VD, is_first_strip, sym_sign)[source]#

Rotates existing points in the VD with respect to current values of a delta deflection

Assumptions:

Source:

Inputs: 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]

raw_VD - undeflected VD pertaining a strip of wing [Unitless] is_first_strip - whether this is the first strip of wing [Unitless] sym_sign - 1 for original side, -1 for symmetric side [Unitless]

Outputs: raw_VD - deflected VD values pertaining to wing [Unitless]

Properties Used: N/A
