Function Documentation

from_ned()

template<typename Scalar>

wind::WindVector< Scalar > vulcan::constant_wind::from_ned	(	const Scalar &	north,
		const Scalar &	east,
		const Scalar &	down = Scalar(0) )

Create constant wind from NED components.

Template Parameters

Scalar

double or casadi::MX

Parameters

north	North wind component [m/s]
east	East wind component [m/s]
down	Down wind component [m/s] (usually 0)

Returns

WindVector with constant components

from_speed_direction()

template<typename Scalar>

wind::WindVector< Scalar > vulcan::constant_wind::from_speed_direction	(	const Scalar &	speed,
		const Scalar &	direction_from )

Create constant wind from speed and direction.

Uses meteorological convention: direction is where wind comes FROM. For example, a "northerly wind" blows FROM the north TO the south, so direction_from = 0 and the resulting north component is negative.

Template Parameters

Scalar

double or casadi::MX

Parameters

speed	Wind speed [m/s]
direction_from	Direction wind is blowing FROM [rad], clockwise from North

Returns

WindVector in NED frame
