Feature or improvement description
This pull requests introduces Cartesian grids for wake planes, in preparation for the curled wake model implementation.
Mod_Wake=3
, where wakes are computed on a Cartesian grid directly. The wake dynamics equation are solved using a First-Order Foward Euler scheme, that only accounts for momentum conservation and not mass conservation (similar to the Curled-wake model implementation).NOTE: these changes were reviewed by @jjonkman several months ago, prior to the implementation of the curled wake, as part of #774 and an old branch f/ff-split
Impacted areas of the software
FAST.Farm, WD+AWAE
Test results, if applicable
Mostly affects Vx and Vr at some distance downstream (e.g. 3D) due to slightly different convection (AWAE receiving slightly different wakes).
