AIM Inputs

The following list outlines the FRICTION inputs along with their default values available through the AIM interface. All inputs to the FRICTION AIM are variable length arrays. All inputs must be the same length .

• Mach = double
  OR
• Mach = [double, ... , double]
  Mach number.
  Must have the same number of entries as Altitude.
• Altitude = double
  OR
• Altitude = [double, ... , double]
  Altitude in units of ft for 'US' units and m for 'SI' units. Must have the same number of entries as Mach.
• BL_Transition = double [0.1 default]
  Boundary layer laminar to turbulent transition percentage [0.0 turbulent to 1.0 laminar] location for all surfaces.
• TwTaw = double [1.0 default]
  Tw/Taw, the wall temperature ratio for all surfaces.
• LiftSurface = NULL
  Defines lifting surfaces. See Friction Surface for additional details.
• RevolveSurface = NULL
  Defines revolution surfaces. See Friction Surface for additional details.
