From 130cc9b7fc6b82ffdd7d6b773ef5ef475259919d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: aeronauty Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 16:32:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 01/37] Add RANS CFD integration via Flow360 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit FlexFoil users can now run RANS simulations on their airfoils via Flow360's cloud solver with a single function call: foil.solve_rans(alpha=5.0, Re=6e6, mach=0.15) The pipeline generates a pseudo-3D hex mesh (structured O-grid with hybrid normal-offset/TFI), writes it as UGRID binary, uploads to Flow360, runs steady SA-RANS with symmetry BCs on the spanwise faces, and returns CL/CD/CM. No external meshing dependencies — pure numpy.

Near the TE, upper and lower normals point in opposite directions, causing cell inversion as layers grow. Replace with Transfinite Interpolation (TFI): blend between the inner boundary (airfoil + wake) and an outer boundary (circle at farfield). Since TFI is a convex combination, cells can NEVER cross. Verified: 0 negative volumes out of 31,800 hex cells (240 panels, 100 BL layers, gr=1.08).

Split airfoil into 3 segments: upper aft, LE region, lower aft - LE gets its own block with "Bump" distribution for good resolution - Semicircle centered at the LE split point (x=0.05c) - Wake extends from TE with single centerline, split into top/bottom - Farfield top/bottom directly above/below TE for orthogonal cells - All progression directions carefully matched to wuFoil conventions 5 blocks: inlet (LE), top (upper surface), bottom (lower surface), wake top, wake bottom. All transfinite + recombined = all-hex.

The previous code forced both surfaces to share one TE point, pulling the lower surface spline to the upper TE position and distorting the entire airfoil shape. Now upper and lower TE are separate gmsh points. The wake splits into two lines (upper wake from TE_upper, lower wake from TE_lower) that meet at the wake center exit point. This preserves the correct airfoil geometry for any TE gap.

This eliminates the TE strip and wake gap blocks that caused watertight failures. The TE closure moves the trailing edge by ~0.13% chord for open-TE airfoils (NACA 0012) — negligible for RANS accuracy. Added automatic watertight check: verifies every interior face is shared by exactly 2 hexes and every boundary face by exactly 1.

This distorts the airfoil shape (NACA 0012 loses its finite-thickness TE). Our fork instead: - Detects open TE (two distinct points near x_max) - Keeps both TE points unchanged - Inserts midpoint as the reference TE for the C-grid topology - Stores te_upper/te_lower for downstream use (TE block meshing) Based on gmshairfoil2d v0.2.33 (Apache 2.0 license).

This avoids degenerate geometry from three coincident x=1.0 points while preserving the airfoil shape.

The sharp-TE pinch causes CDp to be 2.5× too high vs experiment. Changes: - AirfoilSpline: detect open TE, store te_upper/te_lower separately - gen_skin_struct: create separate upper/lower splines for blunt TE - CType: 6-block topology with TE gap block (F) between C and D - mesh.py: call gmshairfoil2d classes directly (bypass broken read_airfoil_from_file), write geo_unrolled for clean extrusion - Front spline: proper k1/k2 computation for Selig-ordered points Status: 6-block mesh generates correctly (44K hexes, 0 negative volumes). Flow360 solver diverges at farfield corner — investigating cell quality at arc-to-rectangle junction.
