The zooming commands Z, U, may be necessary to better see these small profiles in most cases. BL displays a number of profiles equally spaced around the airfoil’s perimeter, while BLC displays profiles at cursor-selected locations. This is only about 1/3 to 1/2 as large as the overall boundary layer thickness, which can be visualized via the BL or BLC commands which diplay velocity profiles through the boundary layer. The gap between these effective and actual shapes is equal to the local displacement thickness delta*, which can also be plotted in the VPAR menu. This effective airfoil shape is shown superimposed on the actual current airfoil shape under the Cp vs x plot. The difference between the true viscous Cp distribution (solid line) and the inviscid Cp distribution (dashed line) is due to the modification of the effective airfoil shape by the boundary layers. If the inviscid mode is active, only the inviscid Cp is shown as a solid line. Each dash covers one panel, so the local dashed line density is also a useful visual indicator of panel resolution quality. If the viscous mode is active, the true viscous Cp is shown as a solid line, and the inviscid Cp at that same alpha is shown as a dashed line. When in doubt, typing a “ ? “ will always produce a menu.Īfter an ALFA, CL, or CLI command is executed, the Cp vs x distribution is displayed, and can be displayed again at any time with CPX. The user is always prompted for any required input. CL will return a viscous solution with the specified true viscous lift coefficient at an alpha which is determined as part of the solution (prescribing a CL above CLmax will cause serious problems, however!). For viscous cases, CLI is equivalent to specifying alpha, this being determined a priori from the specified lift coefficient via an inviscid solution. For inviscid cases, the CLI and CL commands are identical. Hopefully, most of the commands are self-explanatory. The CLI command has no short form (as indicated by all capitals in the menu), and must be fully typed. Likewise, “AS” and “CS” are the short forms of “ASEQ” and “CSEQ”. The “A” command is the short alternative form of “ALFA”, and “C” is the short alternative of “CL”. The most commonly-used commands have alternative short forms, indicated by the uppercase part of the command in the menu list. Some commands expect multiple arguments, but if the arguments are not typed, prompts will be issued.
