Compressible aerodynamics calculator in PythonA tool for experiments and simulations.
Project description
A python package for compressible flows. A dynamic toolkit which enables you to make use of the formulae governing compressible flows.
Requirements
Python 2.7, >=3.4
pylab (numpy, scipy and matplotlib)
scikit-aero >= 0.2
optional, but recommended for GUI: PyQt5 or PySide
optional for making tables: pandas
Installation
To install development versions of caeroc and scikit-aero
pip install -e https://github.com/ashwinvis/caeroc.git --process-dependency-links --trusted-host github.com
If the current configuration of the GUI does not work for you, regenerate it by running:
cd caeroc/gui
./configure
Launch
Simply run in your terminal
caeroc-app
Development
Development mode will install caeroc using soft links.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/ashwinvis/caeroc.git
cd caeroc
python setup.py develop
cd ../scikit-aero
python setup.py develop
Features
[x] Command-line tool which opens a Qt based GUI calculator
[ ] Save data as a database
[ ] Plotting graphs
[ ] Generate gas tables
[ ] Calculate flow characteristics: Coefficient of pressure, lift and drag for basic profiles.
Courtesy
The idea for a compressible aerodynamics calculator in the form an online JS tool had been implemented by William Devenport here. This project is pushing more functionalities as an offline tool and allowing users to dynamically use the formulae for specific cases.
Thanks to the scikit-aero team for being the backend
