About this app

The description of Joukowski Simulator App
This app uses the theory of complex analysis (conformal mapping) to calculate the flow-fields and aerodynamics of the potential flow around a Karman-Trefftz airfoil (Joukowski airfoil is the special case with a cusp trailing edge) or circular cylinder.

Features:
- Interactively generates & visualizes the potential flow around a Karman-Trefftz airfoil or circular cylinder.
- Interactively calculates & plots the corresponding surface pressure plot.
- Exports & shares the results (the velocity fields, airfoil coordinates, Cp distribution on airfoil's surface, and also the potential & streamfunction fields) in MATLAB/Octave, Python, or CSV formats, along with some MATLAB or Python commands to help the user to quickly plot the results in MATLAB/Octave or in Python console.

This app would be useful for anyone who wants to learn the subject of potential flows, conformal mappings, or anyone who wants to explore the effect of airfoil's geometry and the flow parameters to the velocity field pattern and/or the surface pressure distribution of a body in a potential flow.

Ratings and reviews

The app should let you actually see the air flow over the airfoil, not just a static image. The air should actually move over the airfoil, and there should be an option to add color, dimensions, etc. Please fix this!!!!!!!

Ads made this unusable for me. I'd much rather buy a coffee for the developer than suffer with useless ads. Ah well, on to better apps where the developer is happy to have a drink on me Steve Mardon

5 out of 5 experience. Finally i can simulate airfoil air movements. W Skibidi
