An Interactive Computational Aerodynamics Analysis Program.

Abstract

This report details how existing aerodynamic analysis programs were combined and integrated into a fully interactive analysis program. The resulting program has several levels of user assistance, complete error protection, and protection against fatal terminations. The program was built around an aerodynamics analysis code which is capable of predicting the real fluid sectional characteristics of airfoils in flows with subcritical Mach numbers. In addition to the viscous flow solution, the program is also capable of several airfoil modification functions. The program was developed as the basic building block upon which several other aerodynamics analysis codes will be added in the future. (Author)
