This element implements the longitudinal wake for a pair of parallel corrugated plates, using the model described in [63]. The method used is identical to that for the WAKE element. The only difference is that instead of providing a file to specify the wake, one specifies the parameters of the model.
Setting the DT and TMAX paramaters to 0 is recommended. This results in auto-scaling of the bin size, the number of bins, and the time spacing of the wake to ensure sufficient length to cover the beam and a sufficiently fine time step to resolve the oscillations in the wake.
As with WAKE, the default degree of smoothing (SG_HALFWIDTH=4) may be excessive. It is suggested that users vary this parameter to verify that results are reliable if smoothing is employed (SMOOTHING=1).
