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 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...

Application of computational procedures in aerodynamic design

Examples are discussed of the application of computational methods in aerodynamic design problems involving interference. Amongst these are: subsonic wing-body, sting support, pylon-nacelle and pylon-store interference, high-lift devices, induced drag minimization through constrained optimization in the Treftz-plane and transonic wing-fuselage...

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...

Comparison of boundary layer calculations for the root section of a wing

At the workshop nine participants presented the results of their calculations for a practical test case. The test case deals with the 3D turbulent boundary layer development, including separation, on the root section of a swept wing. The employed calculation methods comprise 3D integral methods as well as field methods. A short description of...
