Horizontal Wind Model
Conversion of wind velocity from normal coordinate system to coupled coordinate system.
Description
The Horizontal Wind Model block converts wind speed from a normal coordinate system to a coupled one for the two-dimensional case using the formula:
The Horizontal Wind Model block works in SI units.
Ports
Input
DCM - conversion matrix
`3 by 3 matrix
The matrix of directional cosines for transforming the component vectors of the normal coordinate system into a connected one.
Data types: Float64.
Vwind (m/s) - wind speed
`vector 3 by 1
Components of wind speed in normal coordinate system, m/s. Defined as a vector.
Data types: Float64.
θwind (deg) - wind direction
scalar
Wind direction, deg. Direction is counted clockwise from the direction of the axis of the of the normal coordinate system. Wind direction is the direction from which the wind blows.
Data types: Float64.
