"""Example: Plot velocity deficit profiles
This example illustrates how to plot velocity deficit profiles at several locations
downstream of a turbine. Here we use the following definition:
velocity_deficit = (homogeneous_wind_speed - u) / homogeneous_wind_speed
, where u is the wake velocity obtained when the incoming wind speed is the
same at all heights and equal to `homogeneous_wind_speed`.
