Yawed rotor wake defection according to the Jimenez model

Attributes¶

rotate: bool

If True, rotate local wind vector at evaluation points. If False, multiply wind speed with cos(angle) instead. If None, do not modify the wind vector, only the path.

beta: float

The beta coefficient of the Jimenez model

step_x: float

The x step in m for integration
