8.5: Distribution of Panels in X-direction
In some cases it makes sense not to use the linear (evenly) distribution of
panels in chord line direction, e.g. if an airfoil reacts sensitively to
changes near leading or trailing edge.
Near the input field are Up/Down-buttons located. They can be used to select
the following settings:
linear: The panels are represented evenly in chord line direction.
cos: Higher resolution near leading and trailing edge.
sin L: High resolution near leading edge and rough resolution near
trailing edge.
sin R: High resolution near trailing edge and rough resolution near
leading edge.
The picture below illustrates the effect of the settings.
