This is a consolitation release with a bunch of smaller but nice enhancements and some refactorings inside the programm

Xoptfoil-JX

  • More robust xfoil driver which reduces the situations, xfoil doesn't get convergence at an operating point.
  • Auto-detection of curvature constraints especially when using 'Hicks-Henne' shape functions.
  • Smoothing of the seed airfoil surface is now done automatically if the auto-detection of curvature signals too many 'spikes' on the surface.
  • New screen output during particle swarm optimization to get more details about the success of each particle.
  • Multi-threading is now always active also if show_details = .true.

Xfoil_worker

  • Added new option -w set which allows to modify the geometry parameters like thickness, camber and their positions of maximum
  • Added new option -w check to check the surface (curvature) quality of an airfoil and tell about best optimization options for the curvature.
  • Added new option -w blend to blend an airfoil with another airfoil by xx%.
