Detailed Description

Calculates a simple buoyancy force based on the volume of the body and the density of the fluid around the object.

Uses the volume of an ellipsoid or a cuboid depending on the reference area for the object.

Member Function Documentation

GetAerodynamicLoad()

AerodynamicLoad AerodynamicObjects.Aerodynamics.BuoyancyModel.GetAerodynamicLoad

(

AeroObject

ao

)

Calculate the buoyant force acting on the object.

Assuming that the object is fully submerged in the relevant fluid.

Implements AerodynamicObjects.Aerodynamics.IAerodynamicModel.

UpdateDimensionValues()

void AerodynamicObjects.Aerodynamics.BuoyancyModel.UpdateDimensionValues

(

AeroObject

ao

)

Calculate and store any values which only depend on the object's dimensions.

This reduces overhead for objects whose dimensions don't change often.

Parameters

ao	The aero object we are using for calculations.

Implements AerodynamicObjects.Aerodynamics.IAerodynamicModel.
