pymead.utils.get_airfoil.extract_data_from_airfoiltools#

extract_data_from_airfoiltools(name: str, repair: Callable | None = None) → ndarray[source]#

Extracts the \(xy\)-coordinates of a specified airfoil from Airfoil Tools and returns the \(xy\)-coordinates as a numpy array of shape=(N,2) where N is the number of airfoil coordinates, and the columns represent \(x\) and \(y\).

Parameters:

  • name (str) –

    Name of the airfoil to be requested from Airfoil Tools. The name must exactly match the airfoil name inside the parentheses on Airfoil Tools. For example, "naca0012" does not work, but "n0012-il" does.

  • repair (Callable or None) – An optional function that takes that makes modifications to the set of \(xy\)-coordinates loaded from Airfoil Tools. This function should take exactly one input (the \(N \times 2\) numpy.ndarray representing the \(xy\)-coordinates downloaded from Airfoil Tools) and return this array as the output. Default: None

Returns:

The set of \(xy\)-coordinates of type numpy.ndarray with shape=(N,2), where N is the number of airfoil coordinates and the columns represent \(x\) and \(y\)

Return type:

numpy.ndarray
