This program was intended for younger students to introduce the ideas ofĬomputer simulation programs and to prepare them to "move up" the student versionįoilSim Elelemntary is available for downloading ontoġ.1c, FoilSim III Elementary Applet (lift plus drag).
Output is presented by colored bar graphs at the lower right. The blue and red buttons located below the wing picture.
Students can change the value of any of the input parameters by using Simulation program that determines the lift and drag of an airfoil. Hands-on, inquiry-based learning for younger students.

Version 1.5a) performs a table look-up of experimental data to determineĭescribing the details of the mathematical method used in FoilSim is alsoįoilSim is available for downloading onto Of the Martian atmosphere for lift comparisons. The software includes a stall model for the airfoil and a model To learn the factors that influence lift. The software calculates the lift of the airfoils, allowing students A probe monitors air conditions (speed and pressure)Īt a particular point on or close to the surface of the airfoil. The softwareĭisplays plots of pressure or airspeed above and below the airfoil Parameters of airspeed, altitude, angle of attack, thickness andĬurvature of the airfoil, and size of the wing area. Students change the positionĪnd shape of the wing by moving slider controls that vary the Simulated view of a wing being tested in a wind tunnel with air The Airfoil View Panel (shown below) is a Simulation software that determines the airflow around various Hands-on, inquiry-based learning in science and math. Was developed at the NASA Glenn Research Center in an effort to foster Science, Life Science, Science and Technology, Science in Personal National Science Standards: Science as Inquiry, Physical Geometry from an Algebraic Perspective, Trigonometry, Discrete Mathematics,Ĭonceptual Underpinnings of Calculus, Mathematical Structure. Mathematics as Reasoning, Mathematical Connections, Algebra, Functions, National Mathematics Standards: Mathematics as Problem Solving, FoilSim meets many of the National Mathematics and Science Standards.
