fastga.models.aerodynamics.components.compute_cl_alpha_dot module

class fastga.models.aerodynamics.components.compute_cl_alpha_dot.ComputeCLAlphaDotAircraft(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: openmdao.core.explicitcomponent.ExplicitComponent

Computation of the increase in lift due to a rate of change of AoA. Not destined for the computation of the equilibrium since they are assumed quasi-steady but rather for future interface with flight simulator.The convention from [Ros85b] are used, meaning that, for the derivative with respect to a rate of AOA, this rate is made dimensionless by multiplying it by the MAC and dividing it by 2 times the airspeed.

Based on [Ros85b] section 10.2.3

Store some bound methods so we can detect runtime overrides.

initialize()[source]

Perform any one-time initialization run at instantiation.

setup()[source]

Declare inputs and outputs.

compute(inputs, outputs, discrete_inputs=None, discrete_outputs=None)[source]

Compute outputs given inputs. The model is assumed to be in an unscaled state.

Parameters

  • inputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional input variables read via inputs[key].

  • outputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional output variables read via outputs[key].

  • discrete_inputs (dict or None) – If not None, dict containing discrete input values.

  • discrete_outputs (dict or None) – If not None, dict containing discrete output values.

compute_partials(inputs, partials, discrete_inputs=None)[source]

Compute sub-jacobian parts. The model is assumed to be in an unscaled state.

Parameters

  • inputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional input variables read via inputs[key].

  • partials (Jacobian) – Sub-jac components written to partials[output_name, input_name]..

  • discrete_inputs (dict or None) – If not None, dict containing discrete input values.
