Calculated Results

Calculated results may be saved in an ASCII text file which may then be imported into other software applications.

The coefficients option contains the same information as shown in the tabulated data display. If multiple airfoils have been analyzed, all will be included.

The surface values option is similar to the tabulated data. This file will include the surface velocity, pressure coefficient, and the boundary layer thickness (if viscous effects are included) at each point along the airfoil(s) at all angles of attack, as well as all of the information given in the coefficients option. A negative value of surface velocity represents flow which is below the stagnation point and is passing below the bottom of the airfoil.

A partial example is shown below:
