Wow, DustDevil.

You're computing local flow velocities and angles for each aircraft component??? I have to ask why?

We certainly don't bother with that kind of detail for commercial/engineering sims. Just use a single alpha/beta/speed definition, consistent with the means used in flight test for data derivation.

Are you doing local flow calculations using panel methods or similar - I'm intrigued.
