Functions

calculate_CPK_mses_inviscid_only(analysis_subdir)	Calculates the mechanical flower power coefficient input to the control volume across the airfoil system control surface.
calculate_Cl_alfa_xfoil_inviscid(analysis_dir)
calculate_Cl_integral_form(x, y, Cp, alfa)
calculate_aero_data(conn, airfoil_coord_dir, ...)	Convenience function calling either XFOIL or MSES depending on the tool specified
calculate_performance_parameters_from_polar(...)	Computes performance parameters, such as \(\alpha_{ZL}\), \((L/D)_\text{max}\), etc.
compute_alpha_zero_lift(alpha_deg, Cl[, ...])	Computes the zero-lift angle of attack for an input set of angles of attack and lift coefficients.
