Thin Airfoil DVM Solver

Travis (.com) Codecov Codacy grade GitHub Pipenv locked Python version

This python program computes the flow around a thin, cambered airfoil using the discrete vortex method as presented in "Low-Speed Aerodynamics" by Katz & Plotkin. Next to the velocity distribution it can also compute the pressure distribution and lift coefficient. It was developed for a MSc course in Aerospace Engineering and is currently not under further development.

Installation

Clone this repository, then install all dependencies with

python3.8 -m pipenv install

This will also create a virtual environment. If you don't have pipenv yet:
