1.2.3. Main computational subprograms – NEIGH, <strong>PANUKL</strong> and PRESS<br />
NEIGH<br />
NEIGH subprogram is being used to calculate neighboring panel numbers. Additionally it<br />
extends grid with wake grid panels. The input file for NEIGH is [name.INP] - grid geometry file.<br />
Configuration file is [name.NGH]. The output file with grid and wake panels is [name.DAT].<br />
<strong>PANUKL</strong><br />
<strong>PANUKL</strong> subprogram computes influence factors, missing geometrical data and solves system<br />
of equations. As a result we get velocity potential distribution. <strong>PANUKL</strong> subprogram input<br />
parameters like angle of attack or angular velocities are read from [name.PAR] configuration file.<br />
The results are saved to [name.PAN] output file which is an input for PRESS subprogram.<br />
Creating [name.PAN] output file can last long and it is the most CPU consuming process.<br />
PRESS<br />
PRESS subprogram computes pressure distribution over the aircraft body by differentiating<br />
the velocity potential distribution. Additionally we can obtain global aerodynamic coefficient values,<br />
downwash distribution and inducted drag in Trefz plane. PRESS subprogram input parameters are<br />
read from [name.PRS] configuration file. The results are saved to three output files (for more<br />
information go to chapter 1.3.2).<br />
[name.OUT] - global aerodynamic results,<br />
[name.CZY] - aerodynamic coefficient distribution over the wing,<br />
[name.TXT] - the results for pressure coefficient, velocity, source or doublet distribution etc.<br />
(for each panel of aircraft body),<br />
[name.EPS] - downwash results (created as an option),<br />
[name.BLN] - object geometry outline for current downwash computational<br />
plane (created as an option).<br />
