class ibl.reference.XFoilWakeData(data)

Bases: object

Data reported for each station in wake.

This class is initialized with the row data from the dump file from XFOIL.

Parameters:

data (str)

__init__(data)

Initialize class.

Parameters:

data (str) – String containing the data at this point.

Return type:

None

Methods

reset(data)	Reset the data to new values.

Attributes

delta_d	Displacement thickness at point along surface.
delta_m	Momentum thickness at point along surface.
s	Arclength distance from stagnation point along surface.
shape_d	Displacement shape factor at point along surface.
u_e_rel	Nondimensionalized edge velocity at point along surface.
x	Chord location of point along surface.
y	Normal coordinate of point along surface.
