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.
