velocity_transform Function

public pure function velocity_transform(omega, v, x) result(rst)

Computes the velocity transformation matrix relating the position of a point expressed in a rotating and translating body relative to its parent frame.

The transformation matrix takes the following form.

$$V = \left[ \begin{matrix} \tilde{\omega} & \vec{v} - \tilde{\omega} \vec{x} \\ 0 & 0 \end{matrix} \right]$$

where,

$$\tilde{\omega} = \left[ \begin{matrix} 0 & -\omega_z & \omega_y \\ \omega_z & 0 & -\omega_x \\ -\omega_y & \omega_x & 0 \end{matrix} \right]$$

Given a vector describing the location on a moving body, $\vec{r_p}$, the matrix is used to report its velocity $\vec{v_p} = V \vec{r_p}$.

Arguments

Type	Intent	Optional	Attributes		Name
real(kind=real64),	intent(in)			::	omega(3)	The angular velocity vector.
real(kind=real64),	intent(in)			::	v(3)	The translation velocity vector describing the velocity of the body in its parent coordinate frame.
real(kind=real64),	intent(in)			::	x(3)	The position vector of the body in its parent coordinate frame.

Return Value real(kind=real64), (4,4)

The 4-by-4 transformation matrix.
