Class
    Foam::lookupProfile

Description
    Look-up based profile data - drag and lift coefficients are linearly
    interpolated based on the supplied angle of attack

    Input in list format:

        data
        (
            (AOA1 Cd1 Cl2)
            (AOA2 Cd2 Cl2)
            ...
            (AOAN CdN CdN)
        );

    where:
        AOA = angle of attack [deg] converted to [rad] internally
        Cd  = drag coefficient
        Cl  = lift coefficient
