1.2. Brief PANUKL software description – main subprograms and their functionalities PANUKL 2002 application is composed of three main subprogram groups. In first group we can find data preparation programs. In second group we can find programs to process and compute data. The last group is the managing program where we can watch obtained results and make appropriate changes and modifications. PANUKL works in Windows and Linux: o MS Windows (2000/XP/Vista), o Linux (extra information can be found in installation package). Both program versions need OpenGL libraries. 1.2.1. Managing subprogram – GRIDVIEW GRIDVIEW All of PANUKL 2002 subprograms can be executed from GRIDVIEW – PANUKL’s managing application (for detailed description go to chapter 3). From CREATE menu (one of the managing application menus) we can access to subprograms. We can also run subprograms from command line. Each subprogram needs a configuration file (see below). The correct order is necessary during computation process. 1. MESH – grid generator (run: Mesh.exe name.ms2), 2. NEIGH – vortex wake and neighbor generator (Neigh.exe name.ngh), 3. PANUKL – velocity potential distribution solver (Panukl.exe name.par), 4. PRESS – pressure distribution and global aerodynamic results solver (Press.exe name.prs). 1.2.2. Data preparation subprogram – MESH MESH MESH subprogram is being used to create grid (made from quadrangle panels) describing aircraft body. To create grid file [name.INP] user must prepare correct input files: main aircraft geometry description file [name.MS2] (contains aircraft reference data, information about wing, tail , fuselage overall geometry), wing airfoil geometry file [name.PRF], fuselage geometry file [name.F]. For more information go to chapter 1.3.1. 10
1.2.3. Main computational subprograms – NEIGH, PANUKL and PRESS NEIGH NEIGH subprogram is being used to calculate neighboring panel numbers. Additionally it extends grid with wake grid panels. The input file for NEIGH is [name.INP] - grid geometry file. Configuration file is [name.NGH]. The output file with grid and wake panels is [name.DAT]. PANUKL PANUKL subprogram computes influence factors, missing geometrical data and solves system of equations. As a result we get velocity potential distribution. PANUKL subprogram input parameters like angle of attack or angular velocities are read from [name.PAR] configuration file. The results are saved to [name.PAN] output file which is an input for PRESS subprogram. Creating [name.PAN] output file can last long and it is the most CPU consuming process. PRESS PRESS subprogram computes pressure distribution over the aircraft body by differentiating the velocity potential distribution. Additionally we can obtain global aerodynamic coefficient values, downwash distribution and inducted drag in Trefz plane. PRESS subprogram input parameters are read from [name.PRS] configuration file. The results are saved to three output files (for more information go to chapter 1.3.2). [name.OUT] - global aerodynamic results, [name.CZY] - aerodynamic coefficient distribution over the wing, [name.TXT] - the results for pressure coefficient, velocity, source or doublet distribution etc. (for each panel of aircraft body), [name.EPS] - downwash results (created as an option), [name.BLN] - object geometry outline for current downwash computational plane (created as an option). 11
