Analysis with pyAVL

After initializing and setting up your AVLSolver, you can perform analysis tasks such as alpha sweeps and CL sweeps.

Alpha Sweep

Here's an example of an alpha sweep:

print("----------------- alpha sweep ----------------")
print("   Angle        Cl           Cd          Cdi          Cdv          Cm")
for alpha in range(10):
    avl_solver.add_constraint("alpha", alpha)
    avl_solver.execute_run()
    run_data = avl_solver.get_case_total_data()
    print(
        f' {alpha:10.6f}   {run_data["CL"]:10.6f}   {run_data["CD"]:10.6f}   {run_data["CDi"]:10.6f}   {run_data["CDv"]:10.6f}   {run_data["CM"]:10.6f}'
    )

CL Sweep

Here's how you can perform a CL sweep:

print("----------------- CL sweep ----------------")
print("   Angle        Cl           Cd          Cdff          Cdv          Cm")
for cl in np.arange(0.6,1.6,0.1):
    avl_solver.add_trim_condition("CL", cl)
    avl_solver.execute_run()
    run_data = avl_solver.get_case_total_data()
    alpha = avl_solver.get_case_parameter("alpha")
    print(
        f' {alpha:10.6f}   {run_data["CL"]:10.6f}   {run_data["CD"]:10.6f}   {run_data["CDi"]:10.6f}   {run_data["CDv"]:10.6f}   {run_data["CM"]:10.6f}'
    )
