Pcoef formulates and solves the system that generates the coefficients of the PARSEC polynomial. Note that parsecairfoils.py uses additionally the module parseccoef.py which contains the user function pcoef. The only input required by parsecairfoils.py are the 11 PARSEC parameters (found in the file data/parsec_parameters.csv). NumPy - for array objects and mathematical operations.Is also able to export the airfoil's coordinates, as shown in this plain coordinate file. Generates and plots the contour of an airfoil - as shown in this example. trailing edge angles between the pressure and suction surface and the horizontal axis (th_pre, th_suc).curvatures at the pressure and suction surface crest locations (d2y/dx2_pre, d2y/dx2_suc).pressure and suction surface crest locations (x_pre, y_pre, x_suc, y_suc).Use the sliders below to select or deselect geometric variables. The script, using as input data the following 11 airfoil geometric characteristics: The Wing Plot Tool allows you to sketch a wing planform by defining a valid combination of the critical wing geometric properties: Wing Area, Wing Span, Aspect Ratio, Taper Ratio, Root Chord, Tip Chord, and Sweep angle (quarter chord). Sobieczky, 'Parametric airfoils and wings' in Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics, Vol. More on the PARSEC parameterization can be found in the following article: It has the advantange of strict control over important aerodynamic features, and it allows independent control over the airfoil geometry by imposing shape constraints. PARSEC is a common method for airfoil parameterization. Parsecairfoils.py is a python script that generates, plots, and exports the contour of an airfoil using the PARSEC parameterization.
