function(wake_field, velocity_field)[source]#

Incorporates the velocity deficits into the base flow field by selecting the maximum of the two for each point.

Args:

u_field (np.array): The base flow field. u_wake (np.array): The wake to apply to the base flow field.

Returns:
np.array: The resulting flow field after applying the wake to the

base.

Parameters:

  • wake_field (ndarray)

  • velocity_field (ndarray)
