A survey of computational methods for subsonic and transonic aerodynamic design

An overview is provided of computational methods that can be used in solving the design problem of aerodynamics; i.e. the problem of finding the detailed shape of (parts of) configurations of which the gross geometric characteristics have already been determined in a preliminary, overall design process, and that, subject to certain constraints,...

A quasi-simultaneous calculation method for strongly interacting viscous flow around an infinite swept wing

An outline is presented of a new code, called VISIAN, for the analysis of aerodynamic flows with strong viscous-inviscid interaction. The code is based on the recently developed quasi-simultsuieous method for the calculation of strongly interacting boundary layers. The feasibility of this method has already been demonstrated liy means of a...
