Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist
* Package name : xfoil Version : 6.97 Upstream Author : Mark Drela and Harold Youngren * URL : http://web.mit.edu/drela/Public/web/xfoil * License : GPL Programming Lang: Fortran Description : Interactive program for the design and analysis of subsonic airfoils (Include the long description here.) It consists of a collection of menu-driven routines which perform various useful functions such as: Viscous (or inviscid) analysis of an existing airfoil, allowing forced or free transition transitional separation bubbles limited trailing edge separation lift and drag predictions just beyond CLmax Karman-Tsien compressibility correction fixed or varying Reynolds and/or Mach numbers Airfoil design and redesign by interactive modification of surface speed distributions, in two methods: Full-Inverse method, based on a complex-mapping formulation Mixed-Inverse method, an extension of XFOIL's basic panel method Airfoil redesign by interactive modification of geometric parameters such as max thickness and camber, highpoint position LE radius, TE thickness camber line via geometry specification camber line via loading change specification flap deflection explicit contour geometry (via screen cursor) Blending of airfoils Writing and reading of airfoil coordinates and polar save files Plotting of geometry, pressure distributions, and multiple polars NOTE: The program consists of 3 source codes: xfoil, pplot and px_plot. I have successfully compiled xfoil and pplot with the Fortran GNU compiler; it gives an error with px_plot and I was unable to contact the upstream author (I am no expert, maybe it needs a simple fix). I am aware of a very old debian unofficial package of this software, no longer maintained. It would be nice to see it in debian. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.19.1 Locale: lang=en...@euro, lc_ctype=en...@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
