Added ability to turn aligned grid off #288

Closed ben-l-p closed 2 months ago

ben-l-p commented 2 months ago

Includes a new aerogrid setting 'initial_align' to perform flow alignment at the first timestep only, and use this same rotation for all time steps. It is also now possible to use no alignment at all - not recommended as this creates a different geometry as all rotations are with respect to the beam only.

Will require https://github.com/ImperialCollegeLondon/sharpy/pull/284 to be merged to pass tests
