VSAERO

VSAERO is a three-dimensional panel method for calculating the nonlinear characteristics of arbitrary configurations in subsonic flow. Wake separation and vortex/surface interaction are included in an interative wake-shape calculation procedure. The effects of viscosity are treated in an outer iteration loop which couples the potential flow and integral boundary layer methods. Additionally, VSAERO's simulation capabilities include internal flows, hydrodynamic wake effects, rotor/fuselage interaction, and propeller/fan perfomance. Consequently, applications include fluid flow problems in the aerospace, automotive and marine industries.
