Hanley Announces MultiElement Airfoil Analysis Software

OCALA, Florida, October 11, 2002 - Hanley Innovations, a small business specializing in aerodynamics and fluid dynamics software development for education and industry, announced today the release of Dr. Hanley’s Aerodynamics: MultiElement Airfoils, a user-friendly software package for the conceptual design and analysis of airfoils and bodies in close proximity to each other. MultiElement Airfoils runs on a PC under Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP.

MultiElement Airfoils is intended for use as a conceptual design/analysis tool for the professional engineering and educational communities. The software can be used to rapidly create 2-D models and generate insight into many relevant engineering problems. For example, high lift wing configurations, race car spoilers in ground effect, biplane wings, double keel/rudder configurations, hydrofoils in shallow water, sail interactions and many other problems can be easily modeled with this tool.

A unique feature of MultiElement Airfoils is the Interactive AirfoilEditor™. AirfoilEditor allows users to add an airfoil to any location in the flow field simply by double-clicking at the desired location. A pop-up dialog box allows users to select from NACA 4, 5 & 6-digit airfoils, the UIUC airfoil database library or their own custom shapes. Airfoils can be rotated to any independent angle, scaled, flipped or given a number of attributes to facilitate the solution or flow visualization. Airfoils already in the flow field can be edited or deleted by double-clicking on the shapes.

MultiElement Airfoils produces graphs of the surface pressure coefficient and velocity ratio for each airfoil. It can also graph the lift, drag and moment coefficients versus angle of attack and the lift-drag polar for a complete array of airfoils. A screen copy of the graphs can be printed, saved as bitmap files (.bmp) or copied to the clipboard and pasted into any MS Windows application. MultiElement Airfoils can also produce a table of results at each angle of attack which can be printed or saved on disk.

The introductory price of the software is $995.00. It can be purchased online and obtained electronically from:
