With control surface deflection #20

Open bharswami opened 4 years ago

bharswami commented 4 years ago

I am trying to run an analysis with flap deflection (in UVLM). I find that the forces and moments are different from PyTornado. My questions: When we have control surface deflection, can we treat the whole wing as a single unit? A single unit of a deformed crooked surface? Is this how PyTornado does it? Are there any wake points in the hinge? Thanks
