Curvature of airfoils

[gerritgroot]

Hi,

Does anyone know whether there exists a standard way, or any other method, to smoothen the curvature of airfoils without changing the geometry too much?

Thanks in advance,

Gerrit

What I meant by noisy is that the file output by optimisation programs are often quite rough, since they are optimised around the specific test condition used. As such a sensible person draws a smooth line through the jagged points to get a usable profile.

it sounds as though you are using synthetically generated profiles, in which case that is not the problem.



Cheers
