0. General overview

This type contains a list of <wakePaneling> nodes. Each of these nodes specifies one (y-z-)wake plane.

1. <wakePaneling> (mandatory)

A wake plane is a y-z-plane, where the wake paneling can be changed. The first wake grid plane is set automatically at the most upstream x-location of the aircraft configuration. At least one further wake grid plane, locating the downstream end of the wake, has to be specified here explicitly. If more than one wake grid plane is specified, subsequent ones have to be placed downstream each other. Typically, two planes are specified: One with a quite fine paneling closely downstream the geometry and a second one with a mor coarse paneling far behind the aircraft model.
