$\left[\frac{\mathrm{rad}}{s}\,-\,-\right]$

Defines velocity dependant meshing efficiency

The columns:

[${\mathrm{\omega }}_a$     (${\mathrm{\eta }}_1$ (${\mathrm{\omega }}_a$ )     ${\mathrm{\eta }}_2$ (${\mathrm{\omega }}_a$ )]

Five options are available:

${\mathrm{\eta }}_1$ (${\mathrm{\omega }}_a$ ) = ${\mathrm{\eta }}_2$ (${\mathrm{\omega }}_a$ ) = ${\mathrm{\eta }}_{}$

${\mathrm{\eta }}_1$ (${\mathrm{\omega }}_a$ ) = ${\mathrm{\eta }}_1 \, {\mathrm{\η}}_2$ (${\mathrm{\omega }}_a$ ) = ${\mathrm{\eta }}_2$

$\mathrm{\η}$ (${\mathrm{\omega }}_a$ ) = ${\mathrm{\eta }}_1$ (${\mathrm{\omega }}_a$ ) = ${\mathrm{\eta }}_2$(${\mathrm{\omega }}_a$ )

2nd column is forward efficiency

${\mathrm{\eta }}_1$ (${\mathrm{\omega }}_a$ )

3rd column is backward efficiency

${\mathrm{\eta }}_2$ (${\mathrm{\omega }}_a$ )

Note: The rows of the array are ordered according to ${\mathrm{\omega }}_a$, with the first row having the smallest |${\mathrm{\omega }}_a$|

-

Defines the corresponding data columns used for forward efficiency (${\mathrm{\eta }}_1$) and backward efficiency (${\mathrm{\eta }}_2$ )

Two options are available:

Data column corresponding to the column number is used for both forward and backward efficiencies ($\mathrm{\eta }\={\mathrm{\eta }}_1 \= {\mathrm{\eta }}_2$) 

Data column corresponding to the first column number is used for forward efficiency (${\mathrm{\eta }}_1$)

and data column corresponding to the second column number is used for backward efficiency (${\mathrm{\eta }}_2$)
