AXISYMMETRIC | AXI-SYM - Axisymmetric flow

Structured Grids

{AXISYMMETRIC | AXI-SYM} yc θ

This keyword allows a two-dimensional structured grid to be run assuming axisymmetric flow. Note that k_max must be 1, and that the .cgd file is unaware that the grid is axisymmetric or 2D; that is determined at Wind-US run time.

The user-specified values are defined as:

	yc		Waterline location of rotation axis, in input units (scaled in Wind-US by `XLONG*SCAFAC` and offset by `YNOSE`)
	θ		Degrees of rotation assumed for metrics. (Changing θ should not affect the solution, but will affect convergence. A value of 5 degrees is typical.)
