AeroForce - Thrust/DragBookkeeping and Aerodynamic Force Breakdown over Componentsupdate v 0.6.8

Jochen Wild

Abstract

AeroForce is an aerodynamic data postprocessing tool that permits a more detailed analysis of the location of aerodynamic forces. For complex configurations the force evaluation of an arbitrary split-up of the entire aerodynamic surface into components like body, wing, pylon or engine is supported. AeroForce calculates forces and aerodynamic coefficients for these components directly from the pressure and friction distributions. Further on, AeroForce is able to book-keep thrust and drag, calculate stagnation lines, and extract force and moment distributions. This document is an update of DLR-IB 124-99/9 for the new release v0.6.8 of AeroForce
