Computational aerodynamics of ordered vortex flows

The physical aspects, the mathematical modeling, the development and application of computational methods for the simulation of vertical flows are described. The high-Reynolds number vortex flows considered are assumed to be steady, sub-critical and such that the structure of the flow is well-ordered and consists of thin shear layers and slender...

Boundary-layer calculations on the leeward surface of a slender delta wing at incidence

The three dimensional flow field around delta wings with leading-edge vortex flow can be computed with panel methods. However, secondary flow separation may occur on the leeward surface of the wing. The associated free vortex sheet can be modeled in the potential flow calculation method, if the location of the secondary separation is provided by...

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...
