n2dcamberline Module

class N2DCamberLine

Bases: bladedesigner.baseclasses.analyticalcamberline.AnalyticalCamberLine

The NACA 2-digit camber line is characterized by two attributes \(m\) and \(p\) where \(m\) is the maximum camber and \(p\) is the chordwise location of maximum camber. This camber line is formed by two parabolic segments that match in value and slope at \(p\). The camber line equation is:

\[\begin{split}y = \Bigg\{ \begin{array}{ll} m p^{-2} x (2 p - x) & \mbox{if } x \leq p \\ m (1 - p)^{-2} (1 - 2 p + x (2 p - x)) & \mbox{if } x > p \end{array}\end{split}\]
