A system for the numerical simulation of sub- and transonic viscous attached flows around wing-body configurations

A description will be presented of a computer program system that is being used for the prediction of aircraft steady aerodynamic characteristics. Properties of the system are described from two different viewpoints. One is that of the aerodynamic designer, who needs an information system to predict lift, moment and drag characteristics and to...

Results of an improved version of LTRAN2 for computing unsteady airloads on airfoils oscillating in transonic flow

Paper presented at AIAA 12th Fluid and Plasma Dynamics Conference held in Williamsburg, Virginia, 23-26 July 1979. Using an improved version of the NASA Ames code LTRAN2, unsteady airloads were computed for a flat plate and a lifting transonic NACA 6k A006 airfoil, for harmonic pitch and control surface motions at reduced frequencies based on...
