Steady VLM correction exemplar

Authors/Creators

  • 1. University of Hertfordshire

Description

This dataset includes an example MATLAB script that implements corrections to steady Vortex Lattice Method (VLM) results. Corrections include:

  1. Viscous lift curve slope.
  2. Lifting surface viscous drag (including lift-dependent viscous drag).
  3. Fuselage profile drag.
  4. Fuselage contribution to pitching moment.
  5. Tailplane contribution to pitching moment.

The example includes experimental wind tunnel data from a model of an English Electric Canberra, along with software models of this aircraft in three popular steady VLM solvers: AVL, XFLR5 and OpenVSP/VSPAERO.
