Inaprop is application for the design and analysis of propellers in low Reinolds number region

Inaprop

Inapropはプロペラ設計プログラムです。 渦法、Larrabeeの手法、Adkins & Liebeckの手法それぞれによる設計が可能です。 v0.55の現在、十分な機能が実装されておらず、バグが残っているために、 それぞれの手法のアルゴリズムサンプルとして使ってもらえると思います。 プロペラ設計プログラムとしてはXROTORという優れたオープンソースプログラムが存在しています。 ちゃんと使いたかったらそちら推奨です。

実行ファイルはbin\Relese\Inaprop.exeです．ソースコードのダウンロードやインストールの必要はありません．

Inaprop is GUI propgram for the design and analysis of free-tip propellers. Inaprop has three design methods which are Vortex methos, Larrabee method and Adkins $ Liebeck method(BEM:Blade Element Momentum method). Analysis routine is not implementation yet. Inaprop function is not enough yet.And there is an excellent rotor desing and analysis software 'XROTOR', please use there.

If you just use, you only need the executable file(bin\Relese\Inaprop.exe)

Required

Microsoft .NET Framework 4 http://www.microsoft.com/ja-jp/download/details.aspx?id=17851
