Does anyone know of a package that gives first-order approximations of flow conditions? I would like to optimize a ducted fan shroud and the package I have (CFDesign) would be time-prohibitive to give the level of results I need for the # of parameter iterations I'll be doing (changing lip radius, wall camber, disc location, etc). Once I have a basic design hammered out, I'll go to a better cfd for follow-on studies. I am looking for something similar to SNACK from DreeseCode, if anyone is familiar.
