◆ anemometerCoefficient
| float AerodynamicObjects.Demos.CupAnemometer.anemometerCoefficient |
This is a calculated value for information.
Physical constant for the anemometer based on the user supplied cup forward and reverse drag coefficients. The theoretical speed of the flow in m/s is the anemometer angular velocity in rad/s multiplied by the anemometer coefficient and the arm radius in m.
◆ armRadius
| float AerodynamicObjects.Demos.CupAnemometer.armRadius = 0.1f |
Radial distance from the centre of rotation of the anemometer to centre of the cup.
◆ cupForwardDragCoefficient
| float AerodynamicObjects.Demos.CupAnemometer.cupForwardDragCoefficient = 1.4f |
Drag coefficient with the flat face of the cup going into wind.
◆ cupReverseDragCoefficient
| float AerodynamicObjects.Demos.CupAnemometer.cupReverseDragCoefficient = 0.4f |
Drag coefficient with the rounded back face of the cup going into wind.
◆ filterCoefficient
| float AerodynamicObjects.Demos.CupAnemometer.filterCoefficient = 1 |
Controls the amount of averaging done to obtain a speed value from the anemometer.
Default value is 1. A higher value makes the speed measurement more responsive to dynamic changes in wind speed.
◆ filteredWindSpeed
| float AerodynamicObjects.Demos.CupAnemometer.filteredWindSpeed |
Calculated wind speed in m/s based on rotation rate of anemometer.
◆ offAxisDragCoefficient
| float AerodynamicObjects.Demos.CupAnemometer.offAxisDragCoefficient = 0.5f |
The drag coefficient of the cup in a flow direction normal to the axis of symmetry of the cup.
This makes relatively little difference to the anemometer performance. Default value of 0.5 is a sensible value.
◆ rotatingMass
| float AerodynamicObjects.Demos.CupAnemometer.rotatingMass = .1f |
The mass of the rotating part of the anemometer in kg.
Inertia is calculated from attached colliders. The inertia affects the time response of the anemometer, but does not affect the calibration between angular velocity and wind speed.
