The source code is 3 times almost the same thing you can chose which ix1 to remember (from first or second search) they are neighboring pointsĪ little outdated, but I still came across this post. If the wing is sampled with too low point count it can lead to inaccuracy. If too small then for smaller radius of curvature will lower the accuracy this approach is dependent on sufficient point coverage. Too big n will cause slowdowns and if n>pnt.num/4 it could also invalidate output.

Sometimes the closest point is before the last found closest point this depends on the curvature of booth sides. find axis0: midpoint of i0=(0-ix1) i1=find closest from (ix1,pnt.num)įor (i0=0,i1=pnt.num-2 i0+npnt.num-2) i=pnt.num-2 ii=i1 Ĭonstant n=4 is just for safety overlapped search for closest points it should be a fraction of pnt.num. This approach has much much accurate output ( axis0,axis1 are closer together) From this point find the most far point from last axis point this is the leading edge point. Also count only valid closest points (on the opposite side) if none found stop (top image case).
#Tecplot polar contour plot plus#
Have an insane thought about this to find the edge point on the run plus some code tweaking and the outcome is good enough for me :) so first some explaining:Īlgorithm for axis stays the same but instead of ix1 bound use only points that was not yet used.


Just find point where the sign of dx is flipping and compute dx(i)=x(i)-x(i-1) Leading edge not correct for nontrivial wings I do not have any skewed wings data as on your image the closest thing I found was this: Well it was quite a few years I do something with wings. However, this would not work in theįollowing exemplary profile, since the smallest x-coordinate is located on the upper surface of the profile.ĭoes anybody have an idea, how I could easily calculate/determine this data? Until now, I have always used the smallest x-coodinate as the leading edge. the profile is not normalized and it can exist in a rotated form.the coordinates always run on the bottom/underside to the leading edge, in the example above at (0,0) and from there back to the trailing edge.the first coordinate is always the trailing edge, in the example above at (x=1, y=0).The only known things about the profile are the lists above and the following facts: Given are airfoil profiles in two lists with the following exemplary coordinates:Įxample: x_Coordinates = I have a little issue with calculating coordinates.
