airfoil_input ( dict or str) – Dictionary or path to JSON object describing the airfoil.If export_polynomial_fits() is used, these values are the same as those for the Specified as constant when the database was generated.įor ‘poly_fit’ airfoils, ‘Mach’ and ‘Rey’ default to the values given in the fit file. If the database is dependent on that variable. When using the member methods get_CL, get_CD, get_Cm, get_CLa, get_CLM, get_CLRe,Īnd get_aL0, the default parameters are dependent upon the type of airfoil.įor all airfoil types except ‘functional’, ‘alpha’, ‘trailing_flap_deflection’,Īnd ‘trailing_flap_fraction’ default to 0.0.įor ‘functional’ airfoils, the defaults are specified by the user.įor ‘linear’ airfoils, ‘Mach’ and ‘Rey’ have no effect on computations.įor ‘database’ airfoils, ‘Mach’ and ‘Rey’ default to the average value in the database, The parameters “camber_relaxation”, “le_loc”, and “camber_termination_tol” then Run to determine the camber line and thickness distribution of the airfoil. Points, then when this class is initialized, a solver will be automatically

If the airfoil geometry is defined using outline Airfoil ( name, airfoil_input, **kwargs ) ¶Ī class defining an airfoil. The following member functions are available: class airfoil_db. For an example of using the Airfoil class to generate and export a database, see the examples/ directory. The Airfoil class can create geometries, create a database using Xfoil, export and import databases, curve fit a database, import and export curve fits, and calculate section properties. All functionality is wrapped in the Airfoil class.
