Bugfix: Moving effective yaw definition and properties to Gauss deflection model

Moves the definition for the effective yaw calculation and the required properties to the gauss deflection model and out of the base deflection class

Updates to GCH V/W velocities and cut planes

Fixes numerical issue with GCH calculations of V/W velocities for wake rotation

Adds capability for y-normal cut planes to be extracted from the flow data

Adds example for interactive visualization of flow fields

Bugfix to remove visualization warning and handle zero wind speeds

Specified visualization shading to remove warning from visualizations
Introduced masking to handle input wind speeds of zero

v2.2.2

Bugfix to correctly sort frequency for AEP calculations.
