15.3: Display Strength of Circulation (Gamma)

The circulation curve represents some kind of force distribution along span direction. However, the circulation is not a force measured in Newton, therefore one has to convert it by the following formulas
l = gamma * 2 * dy * p/2 * v^2
l = lift in Newton
dy = width of a panel strip in m
p = density of air, rho (sea level = 1.225 kg/m^3)
v = flow velocity in m/s

Click the marked button to make the circulation curve visible.



The pictures below illustrate this function. Below the 2D-graphic you find a line of text, in which the local values at the position of the marking bar is displayed. You can shift the marking bar with pressed left mouse button.
