A Computer Program Package for Proving Input to the Douglas Three-Dimensional Potential Flow Program: A User's Manual.

Abstract

This report documents the procedures for using a computer program package designed to calculate and format the coordinates required as input to the Douglas Three-Dimensional Potential Flow Program. The programs calculate the three-dimensional coordinates for axisymmetric bodies, with and without appendages, and the radial and angular distribution of off-body points required to determine velocity profiles for propeller thrust deduction calculations.
