Aerodynamic Module Documentation *************************************** Lifting Line Theory =================== If :math:`\theta_0` is an arbitrary span-wise location: .. math:: \alpha (\theta_o)=\frac{2b}{\pi c(\theta_o)} \sum_1^N A_n sin(n \theta_o) + \alpha_{L=0}(\theta_o) + \sum_1^N n A_n \frac{sin(n\theta_o)}{sin(\theta_o)} :label: LLT_full Each equation has :math:`N` unknowns (:math:`A_n`), so if there are N :math:`\theta_o`, we have NxN system, which in Einstein notation can be written as: .. math:: C_{ij}A_{i}=D_{i} :label: LLT_simple where, :math:`i=0,...,N`, :math:`j=0,...,N` and : .. math:: C_{ij}= \left( \frac{2b}{\pi c(j)} + \frac{n}{sin \theta(i)} \right) sin(n \theta(i)) :label: C .. math:: A_i=A(i) :label: A .. math:: D_i=\alpha(i)-\alpha_{L=0}(i) :label: D where :math:`n=1,3,5,...,N-1`. Since we are considering a symmetric wing, all of the even terms would cancel each other .. figure:: images/elliptical_LLT.png :align: center The code ======== .. automodule:: aeropy.aero_module :members:
