Refactoring part III

[ufechner7]

• do not use untyped vectors like vertices = []
• more consistant naming for v_a: In the moment we have _va, va, v_a and v_a_array
• replace all occurances of array with either vector (1D) or matrix (2D). Not sure if we are using 3D arrays, I don't think so.

I like va, as it looks better in va_array, _va, etc.

I like va, as it looks better in va_array, _va, etc.

The point is, they have different meanings, so we will need different names:

1. norm of the apparent wind speed (scalar)
2. apparent wind speed vector
3. vector of the norm of the apparent wind speeds per panel

My suggestion:

1. va
2. va_vec
3. va_dist

@jellepoland Any comment?

I guess one could assume that whoever interacts with code is smart enough to realize velocity is a vector, might also hold for other things.

But then I do would prefer _arr, for consistency also with other lists of number and other code basis

In Julia, Vector is the type used for 1D arrays and Matrix the type for 2D arrays. Therefore I suggest to use the suffix _vec for a 1D vector, which should also be changed everywhere else in the code.

We have talked about this before on telegram, as long as the naming is consistent everywhere your suggestions are fine.
