Velocity Triangles
Most of this is self-explanatory. Enter all the desired parameters and hit Set Rows.
One of the blade velocities must be zero. This determines whether we have a turbine or a compressor stage.
Some combinations of parameters won't produce valid stages. You won't be allowed to

• set the incidence angle AND the trailing edge angle to zero
• specify a negative free stream velocity
