reference_value_type: luminarycloud.enum.ReferenceValuesType

Method of specification for the reference values used in force and moment computations. Default: PRESCRIBE_VALUES

area_ref: float = 1.0

Reference area for computing force and moment coefficients. Default: 1.0

length_ref: float = 1.0

Reference length for computing moment coefficients. Default: 1.0

use_aero_moment_ref_lengths: bool = False

Whether to use separate reference lengths for pitching, rolling and yawing moments. Default: False
