Motivation

This library is a free-time project. I am using as a means to:

1. Experiment the performance of several scientific computing packages and tools applied to a computation-intensive application.
2. Dive deep into the Python Open Source community.
3. Redo properly (in terms of performance optimization, SW best practices, ...) a project I enjoyed a lot during my Master Thesis, back in 2014.

My thesis covered the analysis of the aeroelastic response of an UAV in a gust scenario.

My plan is to implement the following modules:

• 3D steady VLM [Done]
• 3D unsteady VLM
• Wing motion equation solver (aeroelastic response)
