Virtual Disk Report Reference

The available virtual disk reports are listed below:

The available reports depend on the selected virtual disk method. For more information, see 报告虚拟盘体结果.

Virtual Disk Force Properties

Units

Specifies the units of the force component.

Force Component Option

Specifies the force component to report. The force components are reported in the local coordinate system of the virtual disk.

X-Axis Force: Specifies the pitch force—the force component in the direction of the x-axis.
Y-Axis Force: Specifies the lateral force—the force component in the direction of the y-axis.
Z-Axis Force: Specifies the thrust force— the force component in the direction of the z-axis.

Virtual Disk

Specifies the virtual disk for which to report the force component.

Force Type Option

Selects the active or reactive force type to report:

Action of the Fluid on the Virtual Disk
Specifies the fluid dynamic forces acting on the virtual disk due to the action of the fluid. Usually selected to report the thrust produced by the virtual disk.
Reaction of the Fluid on the Virtual Disk
It is equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign to Action of the Fluid on the Virtual Disk.

Units

Specifies the units of the moment component.

Moment Component Option

Specifies the moment component to report. The moment components are reported in the local coordinate system of the virtual disk.

X-Axis Moment: Specifies the roll moment—the moment component in the direction of the x-axis.
Y-Axis Moment: Specifies the pitch moment—the moment component in the direction of the y-axis.
Z-Axis Moment: Specifies the shaft torque—the moment component in the direction of the z-axis.

Virtual Disk

Specifies the virtual disk for which to report the moment component.

Moment Type Option

Action of the Fluid on the Virtual Disk
Specifies the moment acting on the virtual disk due to the action of the fluid.
Reaction of the Fluid on the Virtual Disk
It is equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign to Action of the Fluid on the Virtual Disk.

Units

Specifies the units of the angle.

Angle Option

Specifies which angle to report.

Collective Pitch Angle: Specifies the collective pitch angle.
Cyclic Pitch: Cosine Component: Specifies the lateral cyclic pitch angle.
Cyclic Pitch: Sine Component: Specifies the longitudinal cyclic pitch angle.

Virtual Disk

Specifies the virtual disk for which to report the angle.

Outputs the rotation rate of the selected virtual disk.

Units: Specifies the units of the rotation rate.
Virtual Disk: Selects the virtual disk for which you want to report the rotation rate.

Use this report to obtain information about the advance ratio $J$ of the propeller (see Eqn. (4983)).

Units: The advance ratio is dimensionless.
Virtual Disk: Specifies the virtual disk for which you want to report the advance ratio.

Reports the component of the inflow velocity, which is perpendicular to the virtual disk.

Units: Specifies the units of the inflow velocity.
Virtual Disk: Specifies the virtual disk for which you want to report the inflow velocity.
