bladex.profilebase.ProfileBase.max_camber

ProfileBase.max_camber(n_interpolated_points=500)

Return the magnitude of the airfoil’s maximum camber.

Camber is defined as the distance between the chord line and the mean camber line, and is measured along the line perpendicular to the chord line.

Parameters:

• interpolate (bool) – if True, the interpolated coordinates are used to measure the camber; otherwise, the original discrete coordinates are used. Default value is False
• n_interpolated_points (int) – number of points to be used for the equally-spaced sample computations. If None then there is no interpolation, unless the arrays x_up != x_down elementwise which implies that the corresponding y_up and y_down can not be comparable, hence a uniform interpolation is required. Default value is None

Returns:

maximum camber
