Wind drift circle
I know this is not the answer to the orginal question, but this procedure was used in mountain flying to determine the predominate wind prior to going into an LZ.
We had to use a constant altitude, airspeed, bank angle, and ground reference point to start. Of course you had to have a large enough are for the turn or you used a different procedure (time between two points).
The end result was to identify the drift to determine the winds. I cannot recall any discussion about the aerodynamics other than retreating blade stall at the higher altitudes that we operated at 10-14000 ft (Rocky Mountains).
Maybe one of the operators that normally fly in the mountains may have an answer for you?
