This system computes forces and moments due to added/virtual mass.
The model is based on
[Max M. Munk, "Aerodynamic forces on airship hulls", NACA report 184, 1924]
and the introduction in
[Christopher J. Atkinson, Robert G. Urso, "Modeling of Apparent Mass Effects
for the Real-Time Simulation of a Hybrid Airship", AIAA Modeling and
Simulation Technologies Conference, Aug 2006].
Usage:
Define the following properties:
aero/constants/volume-ft3
aero/constants/length-diameter-ft2 (length^2 + diameter^2)
aero/constants/added-mass/k-axial
aero/constants/added-mass/k-traverse
aero/constants/added-mass/k-rotational
aero/constants/added-mass/tweak-factor (1.0 is the standard value)
Define the following external forces:
