fastga_he.models.aerodynamics.external.xfoil.xfoil_polar module

Computation of the airfoil aerodynamic properties using Xfoil.

class fastga_he.models.aerodynamics.external.xfoil.xfoil_polar.XfoilPolarMod(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: ExternalCodeComp

Runs a polar computation with XFOIL and returns the 2D max lift coefficient.

Intialize the ExternalCodeComp component.

initialize()[source]

Perform any one-time initialization run at instantiation.

setup()[source]

Declare inputs and outputs.

Available attributes:

name pathname comm options

check_config(logger)[source]

Perform optional error checks.

Parameters:

logger (object) – The object that manages logging output.

compute(inputs, outputs)[source]

Run this component.

User should call this method from their overriden compute method.

Parameters:

  • inputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional input variables read via inputs[key].

  • outputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional output variables read via outputs[key].
