File download This is a simple script for computing a boundary layer profile from the Falkner-Skan solution to the boundary layer equations. The results very slightly from literature values, but are indented to be a quick visualization and demonstration of techniques for teaching rather than a physical model.

File download This is a simple potential flow visualizer indented to introduce elementary potential flows, alone and in combination. In addition to showing each elementary flow on its own, I have used it to demonstrate and explain the principle of superposition and used solutions from this model as references for example calculations.

File download This app models the lift and circulation distribution of a thin airfoil, in both ground effect and in unbounded flow, with optional camber following the four-digit NACA formula. A description of a lesson / assignment plan utilizing this script was described in an article in the International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education, and…

File download This wind tunnel was designed to demonstrate concepts from thin airfoil theory, and includes cambered and uncambered airfoils (NACA 0012, 0024, 4412 and 4424), while making maximal use of 3D printed parts to both minimize costs and to share the files. The wind tunnel uses a cycloidal gear reduction for angle of attack…

File download Flight mills are a common tool to study insect flight, and the ones we have used are based heavily on those designed by TFREC at Washington State University. However, we modified this design for imaging applications, providing a uniform background behind the insect for contrast, and providing a uniform 1cm grid for initial…

File download This project was meant to produce an ultra-low cost PTV system (less than $1000 CAD), for use in teaching, training in the use or theory of PTV, or small projects. The imaging system consists a Raspberry Pi and a quadrascopic Arducam array, which are mounted to a 3D printed backplate. The fixed camera…
