NablaFOIL
A tool for the real-time airfoil aerodynamic performance prediction.
OVERVIEW
NablaFoil represents a new, innovative approach for the design of airfoils. Through an interactive, real-time mode the user can adapt, by hand, the shape of the airfoil and check in real-time its performance. A neural network runs in background in order to extrapolate the results from a huge database of airfoils. The main features are:
Parametrization Techniques
The parametrization techniques, using the most advanced mathematic representations, make possible to reproduce all the most common airfoils and to generate new, innovative, shapes. The discretization methods include:
Real-time Shape Modification
The hand-mode modification of the airfoil shape shows, in real-time, the change in the performance of the airfoil.
APPLICATIONS
NablaFoil cuts across a broad range applications. Currently, it is used to generate high-performing airfoil shapes and it is easily coupled with 0D and 1D engineering codes for the estimation of performances. The main application fields are:
