Easy-to-Use Wing Analysis and Design Software
The accurate computation of lift and drag (in particular) is a time consuming
task for most three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) pacakges.
MultiSurface Aerodynamics solves this problem using a novel method
developed by Patrick
Hanley, Ph.D. to
accurately
analyze wings in a matter of seconds on an ordinary computer running
under the Windows XP/Vista operating system. The software computes
three-dimensional lift, profile drag, induced drag, stability derivatives,
moments and stall angle of attack for a system of complex wing shapes.
It is the ideal tool for the aerodynamics conceptual design and analysis
of aircraft wings, sailboat keels & rudders, race car spoilers and other
aerodynamic surfaces.
Features of MultiSurface Aerodynamics include:
-
Analysis of any wing shape or wing combination. This includes wing
with sweep, twist, dihedral and winglets. MSA can determine drag
reduction due to your unique winglets and airfoil cross sectional
designs.
-
Determination of the load (payload) capacity of your design. MSA computes
lift, maximum lift (a unique feature), side-force, drag (vortex &
profile) and moments computations for user-defined wing
combinations in both air & water.
-
Is your design stable in roll, pitch or yaw? Does a cross wind affect
stability? MSA can be used to compute the static stability
derivatievs to assess the behavior of your design.
-
Computation of the wing lift distribution and induced angle of
attack distribution for your structural database.
-
Computation of the
flight
trajectory of your aircraft in 3-dimensional space and
time.
-
It also includes a built-in stand-alone
airfoil analysis
tool that computes Cl, Cd & Cm for general airfoil shapes.
Accurate Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Solvers
MultiSurface Aerodynamics uses a vortex-lattice method (based on vortex
rings) to provide an ideal trade-off between accuracy and speed for 3D analysis;
a linear strength vortex panel methods for airfoil analysis; a novel solution
of the ordinary differential equation form of the boundary layer equation
for computing profile drag.
