How to Run a Speed Sweep of an Airplane with Flow360 in 15 Minutes
In this article, we describe how to run a speed sweep of an airplane using Flow360. A speed sweep analyzes the performance of the airplane when flying at different airspeeds while carrying the same load. Such analysis is useful for determining the most fuel efficient cruise speed, the optimal climb speeds (Vx and Vy), as well as the range of the airplane. This can be done in Flow360 in 15 minutes. We start with the model airplane created using Xfoil...
