ENH: Added new bladeForces function object

Browse Source

Calculates thrust, drag, torque and lift/drag/pressure coefficients
of single or multiple blades (eg, propeller, turbine blades)

This function object differs from the propellerInfo and forces
function objects in that all forces are calculated within the local
cylindrical coordinate system, which yields thrust and drag values
within the expected reference frame.

The output comprises:
- coefficients per radial bin
- area-weighted total coefficients
- integrated forces and torque

For convenient post-processing, the results are also written in a VTK
(.vtp) output format. All surface results are registered internally,
which makes them available for other function objects.
