A survey of numerical methods for the calculation of inviscid, possibly rotational Euler flows around aeronautical configurations

A survey of numerical methods for the calculation of inviscid Euler flows is presented. This survey has been prepared for AGAKD FDP WGOT: "Test cases for steady inviscid transonic or supersonic flows". The survey is augmented by a short assessment of the usefulness of the methods. For aerodynamic applications, the existing methods are in a...

An introductory description of a hodograph method for transonic shock-free aerofoil design

A design method for transonic shock-free aerofoils using analytic hodograph theory is sketched. A user-oriented outline of the program system that has been developed is presented. A number of examples of computed aerofoils show that the performance of the program system seems to be sifficient for advanced transonic shock-free aerofoil design.
