evaluate_slipstream(rotor, rotor_conditions, geometry, ctrl_pts, wing_instance=None)[source]#

Evaluates the velocities induced by the rotor on a specified wing of the vehicle. If no wing instance is specified, uses main wing or last available wing in geometry.

Assumptions: None

Source: N/A

Inputs:

self - rotor wake rotor - rotor geometry - vehicle geometry

Outputs:

wake_V_ind - induced velocity from rotor wake at (VD.XC, VD.YC, VD.ZC)

Properties Used: None
