convert_blade_file_to_array_list(src_file: str) List[ndarray][source]#

Converts an MSES blade file (by default of the form blade.*) to a list of arrays describing the airfoil coordinates.

Parameters:

src_file (str) – Source file containing the MSES blade information (usually blade.*)

Returns:

Each array represents a different airfoil, and each array has shape \(M \times 2\), where \(M\) is the number of discrete airfoil coordinates in a given airfoil.

Return type:

List[np.ndarray]
