Create Force-Velocity Profile

Description

Creates Force-Velocity Profile (FVP) modified using ideas by Pierre Samozino and JB-Morin, et al. (2016) and Pierre Samozino and Nicolas Peyror, et al (2021).

Usage

create_FVP(
  MSS,
  MAC,
  bodymass = 75,
  inertia = 0,
  resistance = 0,
  wind_velocity = 0,
  ...
)

Arguments

MSS, MAC

Numeric vectors. Model parameters

bodymass

Body mass in kg. Used to calculate relative power and forwarded to get_air_resistance

inertia

External inertia in kg (for example a weight vest, or a sled). Not included in the air resistance calculation

resistance

External horizontal resistance in Newtons (for example tether device or a sled friction resistance)

wind_velocity

In meters per second (m/s). Use negative number as head wind, and positive number as back wind. Default is 0m/s (no wind)

...

Forwarded to predict_power_at_distance

Value

List containing the following elements:

bodymass

Returned bodymass used in FV profiling

F0

Horizontal force when velocity=0

F0_rel

F0 divided by bodymass

V0

Velocity when horizontal force=0

Pmax

Maximal horizontal power

Pmax_rel

Pmax divided by bodymass

FV_slope

Slope of the FV profile. See References for more info
