DLR F4 Wing-Body Calculation

Introduction

The DLR F4 is an idealized wing-body model of a passenger jetliner, such as the Boeing 737, that was tested in multiple wind tunnels for comparison with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calculations.

NLR 7301 Multi-Element Airfoil Calculation

Introduction

Multi-element airfoils are common sights on open-wheel racing cars and aircraft during take-off and landing.

NACA 4415 Airfoil Calculation

Introduction

Rotor blade design is a key element in determining the efficiency of a wind turbine. A crucial precursor to a final rotor blade design is to select one or more 2D airfoil sections to form a smooth blade profile. A wind tunnel study of a 2D airfoil (NACA 4415), typical of an airfoil used by wind turbine rotors, is compared with predictions made by our Panel Flow add-on.

Potential Flow Around an Ellipsoid

Introduction

Comparing a computation for the flow around an ellipsoid from our Panel Flow add-on with exact analytic potential theory is a good test (or verification) of our panel method implementation.

Potential Flow Around a Sphere

Introduction

Comparing a computation for the flow around a sphere from our Panel Flow add-on with exact analytic potential theory is a good test (or verification) of our panel method implementation.
