Add variable wind shear to GCH calculations
This pull request addresses the issue in #675. The calculations for the GCH model do not account for variable wind shear and are fixed to a shear coefficient of 0.12. Specifically, this is found in the
vel_top
andvel_bottom
calculations in methodswake_added_yaw
andcalculate_transverse_velocity
. A new input argumentwind_shear
, which is extracted from theFlowField
object (flow_field.wind_shear
), is now added to the above-mentioned methods and included in the calculations.Related issue
