AIM Inputs

The following list outlines the xFoil inputs along with their default values available through the AIM interface.

  • Mach = 0.0
    Mach number.
  • Re = 0.0
    Reynolds number.
  • Alpha = NULL
    Angle of attack [degree], either a single value or an array of values ( [0.0, 4.0, ...] ) may be provided.
  • Alpha_Increment = NULL
    Angle of attack [degree] sequence - [first value, last value, increment].
  • CL = NULL
    Prescribed coefficient of lift, either a single value or an array of values ( [0.1, 0.5, ...] ) may be provided.
  • CL_Increment = NULL
    Prescribed coefficient of lift sequence - [first value, last value, increment].
  • CL_Inviscid = NULL
    Prescribed inviscid coefficient of lift, either a single value or an array of values ( [0.1, 0.5, ...] ) may be provided.
  • Append_PolarFile = False
    Append the file (xfoilPolar.dat) that polar data is written to.
  • Viscous_Iteration = 100
    Viscous solution iteration limit. Only set if a Re isn't 0.0 .
  • Num_Panel = 200
    Number of discrete panels.
  • LETE_Panel_Density_Ratio = 0.25
    Panel density ratio between LE/TE.
  • Write_Cp = False
    Have xFoil write the coefficient of pressure (Cp) distribution to a file - xfoilCp.dat.
