infl_coeff(x, y, xbar, ybar, st, ct, npanel, ncases, ncpts)[source]#

Compute the matrix of aerodynamic influence coefficients for later use

Assumptions: None

Source: None

Inputs x - Vector of x coordinates of the surface nodes [unitless] y - Vector of y coordinates of the surface nodes [unitless] xbar - x-coordinate of the midpoint of each panel [unitless] ybar - y-coordinate of the midpoint of each panel [unitless] st - np.sin(theta) for each panel [radians] ct - np.cos(theta) for each panel [radians] npanel - Number of panels on the airfoil [unitless]

Outputs ainfl - Aero influence coefficient matrix [unitless]
