Detailed Description

A model used to determine the lift force produced due to rotation of the object.

This is often referred to as the Magnus Effect. The current model is experimental and can produce unrealistic results.

Member Function Documentation

GetAerodynamicLoad()

AerodynamicLoad AerodynamicObjects.Aerodynamics.RotationalLiftModel.GetAerodynamicLoad

(

AeroObject

ao

)

Calculate the lift force due to rotation of the aerodynamic object.

Implements AerodynamicObjects.Aerodynamics.IAerodynamicModel.

UpdateDimensionValues()

void AerodynamicObjects.Aerodynamics.RotationalLiftModel.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.
