A system for computer aided analysis and design of multi-element airfoils

A program system has been developed as a tool for interactive analysis and design of multi-element airfoils in incompressible viscous flow. A global description of the system is given. It involves the application of three computational methods, one for the analysis of viscous flow and one for the analysis of inviscid flow around multi-element...

A calculation method of the viscous flow around multi-component airfoils

The viscous flow around multi-component airfoils has been calculated by solving incompressible potential flow and boxindary layer problems iteratively. The potential flow problem is solved by a revised version of the 2D NLR panel method. A model transport equation of turbulent stress is employed to calculate the turbulent boundary layer. The...

Computations with the Garabedian and Korn program for two-dimensional transonic flows with embedded shocks

The report describes experiences with the Garabedian and Korn program for the computation of compressible potential flows, with or without shocks, both supercritical shockless flows and flows with shock waves. Computations for a number of quasi-elliptical aerofoils indicated that the conformal mapping procedure should be handled with care....
