Leaf | Stem | Others |
|---|---|---|
b = Base leaf width (m) | \(D\) = Stem diameter (m) | \({N}_{l}\) = Number of leaves per stem (−) |
\(d\) = Leaf thickness (m) | \({N}_{s}\) = Number of stems bed area (−) | |
\({l}_{l}\), \({l}_{s}\) = Length (m) | \({C}_{s}\) = Sheltering coefficient (−) | |
\(C{a}_{l}\), \(C{a}_{s}\) = Cauchy number (−) | ||
\({E}_{l}\), \({E}_{s}\) = Young’s modulus (Nm−2) | ||
\({I}_{l}\), \({I}_{s}\) = Bending moment of inertia (m4) | ||
\({C}_{D,l}\), \({C}_{D,s}\) = Drag coefficient (−) | ||
