Three-dimensional panel method for high-Reynolds aerodynamics
Features
- Structured mesh generation through space transformation, lofting, or body of revolution
- Source-panel or vortex-ring solver for non-lifting bodies
- Vortex-ring solver for lifting bodies with rigid wake
- Low-memory allocation
- Direct and iterative Krylov (GMRES) solvers
- Automatic differentiation for gradient-based optimization (supports ForwardDiff, ReverseDiff, and ImplicitAD)
Developed and tested in Julia v1.6.
Installation Instructions
- Download and install Julia
- In the Julia REPL:
] add FLOWPanel - (optional) For visualization, install Paraview and make sure that it is callable from the terminal typing
paraview
Copy and paste any of the examples directly in the REPL to run your first simulation
