RCAIDE Package Setup

Modules

compute_airfoil_properties(airfoil_geometry)

This computes the aerodynamic properties and coefficients of an airfoil in stall regimes using pre-stall characterstics and AERODAS formation for post stall characteristics.

compute_naca_4series(airfoil_geometry_file)

Computes the points of NACA 4-series airfoil

convert_airfoil_to_meshgrid(...)

Converts a RCAIDE airfoil geometry representation to a Numpy meshgrid array mask of boolean values.

generate_interpolated_airfoils

import_airfoil_dat(filename)

Import an airfoil data file and stores it in a numpy array.

import_airfoil_geometry(airfoil_geometry_file)

This imports an airfoil geometry from a text file and store the coordinates of upper and lower surfaces as well as the mean camberline

import_airfoil_polars(airfoil_polar_files[, ...])

This imports airfoil polars from a text file output from XFOIL or Airfoiltools.com
