AIM Outputs
The following list outlines the MSES outputs available through the AIM interface.
Angle of attack and coefficients have derivatives w.r.t Alpha, Mach, and Re
- Alpha = Angle of attack value(s).
- CL = Coefficient of lift value(s).
- CD = Coefficient of drag value(s).
- CD_p = Coefficient of drag value, pressure contribution.
- CD_v = Coefficient of drag value(, viscous contribution.
- CD_w = Coefficient of drag value, inviscid (wave) drag from shock entropy wake.
- CM = Moment coefficient value(s).
- Mcrit = Critical Mach number by solving:
![\[
C_{p,min} = \frac{2}{\gamma M_{crit}^2}\left[\left( \frac{1 + [(\gamma-1)/2]M_{crit}^2}{1 + (\gamma-1)/2}\right)^{\gamma/(\gamma-1)} - 1 \right]

- Cheby_Modes =
Chebyshev shape mode values for shape optimization.
![\[
C_{p,min} = \frac{2}{\gamma M_{crit}^2}\left[\left( \frac{1 + [(\gamma-1)/2]M_{crit}^2}{1 + (\gamma-1)/2}\right)^{\gamma/(\gamma-1)} - 1 \right]
