Delaunay Triangulation around NACA 0012 in MATLAB
Written by Wail Yahia
Delaunay Triangulation, is one of the most interesting methods in computational engineering, it is mainly used for domain Discretization in which the domain could be an area, volume, polygon etc… Examples of application of Delaunay triangulation are finite element methods and computational geometry.
Flight Instrument Simulator
Written by Wail Yahia
Wohooo! We got the first simulator on board! Thanks to Andrei, who accepted to take the coding challenge and combine all the codes in the Modelling Flight Instrument tutorial series, to form this nice peace of work. I am sure most of you will find this instrument simulator useful for many purposes, whether for testing flight performance, investigations, research or just pleasure!
The simulator is written in MATLAB. In order to run it, you need to create an input file of your flight time history having the following data:
- 1. Altitude
- 2. Vertical Speed
- 3. Heading
- 4. Bank angle
- 5. Pitch angle
- 6. Indicated Airspeed
- 7. yaw rate and slip rate
then place the input file in the in the same directory as the code files, which is available to download from here, run the code in MATLAB to launch the simulator and watch your flight history on simulated instruments. An input file is provided with package as an example.
This code is in Alpha state, and will be upgraded as per your requests.
Enjoy!

Tutorial into Modelling Flight Instrument | Turn Coordinator (TC)
Written by Wail Yahia
This is the sixth and the last part of modelling instrument flight simulator in MATALB tutorial series. I will be talking about the turn coordinator subsidised by full MATLAB code. The turn coordinator is a flight instrument that helps pilots perform a coordinated turns, the instrument displays both turn rate and ‘slip’ or ‘skid’ rate if the aircraft is losing height or turn during the manoeuvre.
