console to calculate airflow around an airfoil based on RANS approach
...In addition, the coupling between airflow and heat transfer and the effect of surface roughness on near wall flow are considered by this program, it can be used for engineering calculation of the friction drag and heat transfer coefficients on airfoil surface. RANSFOIL reads coordinates data from a 1D XYZ file which describes the grid points or control points on airfoil as only input, then outputs grid and solution files in 2D PLOT3D format to record grid coordinates and airflow data and a report file to show aerodynamic parameters.
Lata is a file format to store CFD results, with special care for huge datasets. This project provides tools for manipulate and convert the lata files. This project is part of the VisIt plugin reader.
