Class
    Foam::seriesProfile

Description
    Profile model where polar lift and drag coefficients are computed
    as sum of trigonometric series by using an input angle of attack.

    \f[
        C_d = \sum_i\left(C_{dCoeff} \cos(i \alpha) \right)
    \f]

    \f[
        C_l = \sum_i\left(C_{lCoeff} \sin(i \alpha) \right)
    \f]

    where
    \vartable
      C_d    | Drag coefficient
      C_l    | Lift coefficient
      \alpha | Angle of attack      [deg]
    \endvartable

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c constant/fvOptions:
    rotorDiskSource1
    {
        // Mandatory/Optional (inherited) entries
        ...

        // Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
        profiles
        {
            // Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
            <profile1>
            {
                // Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
                type     series;
                CdCoeffs (coeff1 coeff2 ... coeffN);
                ClCoeffs (coeff1 coeff2 ... coeffN);
            }

            // Mandatory/Optional (inherited) entries
            ...
        }
    }

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property   | Description                   | Type       | Reqd | Dflt
      CdCoeffs   | List of drag coefficients     | scalarList | yes  | -
      ClCoeffs   | List of lift coefficients     | scalarList | yes  | -
    \endtable

Note
  - Angle of attack is internally converted from [deg] to [rad].
