Here is a list of the capabilities currently implemented in MachLine:

Category Capability
Freestream Condition Incompressible, Compressible Subsonic (subcritical), Compressible Supersonic
Supersonic Surfaces Subinclined only (i.e. all panels must be swept aft of the Mach cone).
Boundary-Condition Formulation Dirichlet (Morino, source-free)
Mesh Import .vtk, .stl (single body), .tri
Singularity Distributions Lower-order (linear-doublet-constant-source) and higher-order (quadratic-doublet-linear-source, still in beta).
Pressure Calculation Incompressible, Isentropic, Second-Order, Slender-Body, Linear
Subsonic Pressure Corrections Prandtl-Glauert, Karman-Tsien, Laitone
Outputs Pressure distributions, singularity distributions, total forces and moments
Wake Generation Automatic straight wakes; automatic wake-shedding edge determination (limited)
Linear System Solver GMRES, LU Decomposition, Block-Jacobi, Block-Successive-Overrelaxation, Purcell's Method, novel QR solvers
Off-Body Data Potentials at user-supplied points
Viscous Effects None
