Implicit finite-difference method for the calculation of unsteady transonic potential flow about 2D airfoils: A discussion

A thorough discussion of the mathematical modelling of unsteady transonic flow is presented. Starting from the Euler equations potential theory is derived and applied to the flow about a 2D airfoil. Motions considered include rigid body motions as well as deformations of the airfoil itself. The full-potential equation is formulated on...
