panel

The panel module (panel_mod) is contained in panel.f95. It contains the panel type and all its bound procedures, along with the eval_point_geom and dod container types.

panel Type

panel contains all information about a given panel and procedures for calculating the panel's geometry and influence.

eval_point_geom and dod Types

eval_point_geom and dod are simply container types. They store information for other objects to use and manipulate.

eval_point_geom stores all the geometric quantities necessary to define the relationship between a field point and a panel. These include projected locations, height above the panel, distances normal to each panel edge, etc. This type is used extensively in the panel influence calculations.

dod stores information telling if/how a given panel falls in the domain of dependence of a given point. This is used only for supersonic calculations.
