AIM Outputs

The following list outlines the CBAero outputs available through the AIM interface. All variables currently correspond to values found in the *.plt file

Reiterate inputs (based on cases):

  • Beta = Sideslip [degree].
  • Alpha = Angle of attack [degree].
  • Dynamic_Pressure = Dynamic pressure [bar].
  • Mach = Mach number.

Per-Trb:

  • PerTrb = PerTrb.

Net Forces - Pressure + Viscous:

  • CLtot = The lift coefficient.
  • CDtot = The drag coefficient.
  • CMYtot = The moment coefficient about the y-axis.
  • LoDtot = Lift to drag ratio.

Pressure Forces:

  • CL_p = The lift coefficient - pressure contribution only.
  • CD_p = The drag coefficient - pressure contribution only.

Viscous Forces:

  • CL_v = The lift coefficient - viscous contribution only.
  • CD_v = The drag coefficient - viscous contribution only.

Aero-thermal:

  • Stagnation_Temperature = Stagnation temperature [K].
  • Stagnation_Radius = = Stagnation radius [m].
  • Convective_Flux = Convective heat flux [W/cm2].
  • Radiative_Flux = Radiation heat flux [W/cm2].

Trefftz:

  • CL_Trefftz = Trefftz lift coefficient.
  • CD_Trefftz = Trefftz drag coefficient.
