DistAero:

Path: SCPro/ProEnvirons

% Computes the aerodynamic disturbance using a Newtonian model.
 The optional shadowing function has the form
 [a,p] = ShadowFun(u, n, a, p)
 and serves to elimate shadowed surfaces from further calculation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [f, t] = DistAero( r, q, v, n, a, p, rho, shadowFun )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
