Feature or improvement description
Adds two simple test cases for the continuous-states aerodynamic models
DBEMT=3
,UAMod=4
andUAMod=6
. The test also look at theUserProp
linearization. These tests are introduced because these aerodyn linearization features were not previously tested. (Time domain tests are present in theaerodyn_driver
).The tests are introduced in preparation for a couple of AeroDyn updates to
UA
,DBEMT
, and theAeroCompMaps
inAeroDyn
.See readmes:
Impacted areas of the software
r-test only, but this is intended towards AeroDyn linearization testing.
Test results, if applicable
The tests are labeled
Fake5MW
as they only use 4 blade stations, 2 polars, and the last polar is subplemented with an extra table to test theUserProp
interpolation. It was verified that the UA and DBEMT models have a decent impact (see figure below for different UA and DBEMT) on the axial induction, and lift, compared to simulations with steady parameters (UA0 DBEMT0). The Jacobian with respect to UserProp are none zero for the 3 sections that use the polar.Checklist
