Requirements

• Python 2.7, >=3.4
• pylab (numpy, scipy and matplotlib)
• ashwinvis/scikit-aero >= 0.2
• PyQt5 / PySide (optional, but recommended for GUI)
• pandas (optional: for making tables)
• colorlog (optional: for coloured log)

Installation

To install from PyPI:

.. code:: bash

pip install -e git+https://github.com/AeroPython/scikit-aero.git#egg=scikit-aero

# Any of the following
pip install caeroc
pip install caeroc[pyqt]
pip install caeroc[pyside]

To install development versions of caeroc and scikit-aero

.. code:: bash

pip install pipenv
pipenv install -e git+https://github.com/ashwinvis/caeroc.git#egg=caeroc

If the current configuration of the GUI does not work for you, regenerate it by running:

.. code:: bash

cd caeroc/gui
./configure

Launch

Simply run in your terminal

.. code:: bash

caeroc-app

Features

• [x] Command-line tool which opens a Qt based GUI calculator

  In development

• [ ] Save data as a database

• [ ] Plotting graphs

• [ ] Generate gas tables

• [ ] Calculate flow characteristics: Coefficient of pressure, lift and drag for basic profiles.

Courtesy

• The idea for a compressible aerodynamics calculator in the form an online JS tool had been implemented by William Devenport <http://www.aoe.vt.edu/people/faculty.php?fac_id=wdevenpo>__ here <http://www.dept.aoe.vt.edu/~devenpor/aoe3114/calc.html>__. This project is pushing more functionalities as an offline tool and allowing users to dynamically use the formulae for specific cases.
• Thanks to the scikit-aero team for being the backend
