About


This repository contains results of the swept wing vorticity study using OpenVSP software.



Parameters


The study was performed for a wing with the taper ratio 0.75 and for a NACA 1412 airfoil

The analysis was performed for several wing parameters:

  • Aspect ratio (AR): 6, 7, 8, 9
  • Win sweep angle (gamma): 12, 15, 18 degrees
  • Angle of attack (AoA): 0, 5, 10 degrees


Results


Results of lift coefficient distribution along the half wing span were normalized by the 'ideal' Cl values - for a rectangular wing with AR=20


CCl - normalized lift coefficient

CCl *c/cref - normalized lift coefficient reduced by local chord
