Tools

A collection of some web-based tools I've developed over the years. These have either been created as teaching or research tools. Please keep in mind these tools are primarily educational and I don't gaurantee their accuracy or precision.

Compressible Aerodynamics Calculator

A straightforward calculator for several compressible aerodynamics topics. Three separate calculators are included on the page: Isentropic Flow Relations, Normal Shock Relations, and Oblique Shock Relations.

Colebrook Formula Solver

This tool will iterate to find the appropriate friction factor given fluid properties, pipe diameter, pipe roughness, and volume flow rate.

First Cell Height Calculator

Estimate the first cell height from a wall based on a desired y+ value. This is predominantly used for developing meshes to be used for CFD runs involving turbulence models.

US Standard Atmosphere Calculator

Estimate the properties of air at altitudes up to 86 km (282,152 ft) based on the 1976 US Standard Atmosphere Model.

MMAE Robotics Laboratory Reservation

Not really a tool, but the site we use to reserve time in our department's Robotics Laboratory.
