Stanford Java Wing
Analysis Program - A wing efficiency program written in Java, which can
be run directly from the Net. Your browser must support Java applets.
Supersonic
Airfoil Uses the oblique shock and Prandtl-Meyer
expansion functions to compute the inviscid aerodynamic force on a
wedge airfoil with attached shocks. Reshape the wing or change the
angle of attack and watch the pressures and forces recompute.
Implemented as a java applet. Evgeni Kudriavitski.
TetrUSS NASA Tetrahedral Unstructured
