SOFTWARE

Current software constitutes modifications and extensions to XROTOR and DFDC, both by Prof. Mark Drela and Harold Youngren. Compilation requires Unix/Linux/OSX with X11 and C and Fortran compilers.


DFDC v070-ES2

Fixes many bugs in DFDC v0.70 while adding a variety of enhancements. Version ES2 introduces ESLOFT, a unique facility for lofting rotor and stator blades.

Available for download under the GPL.


ESPROP

ESPROP forms part of a unique parametric analysis system for variable pitch and constant speed propellers. Several propellers can be directly compared in a variety of ways across a wide range of operating conditions. Both numeric and plot output are supported.

ESPROP and a sample database are available for download under the GPL, providing a full demonstration of the system's capabilities.


CROTOR

An extension to XROTOR that automates the design and analysis of counter-rotating propellers while providing an effective user interface and reporting.

CROTOR cannot be freely distributed since it requires modifications to XROTOR which is a commercial code. Contact me if you require this capability.

For more information on CROTOR's capabilities, refer to the CROTOR User Guide (text format).
