ARSPNSC: A method to calculate subsonic steady and unsteady potential flow about complex configurations

A new method ARSPSC is described for the calculation of steady and time-linearized unsteady subsonic potential flow about complex 2-D and 3-D configurations. The method belongs to the category of the so-called panel methods. Applications have been made to a 2-D oscillating flat plate, a 2-D multi-component airfoil with oscillating flap and a 3-D...

Results of a new version of the LTRAN2-NLR code (LTRANV) for unsteady viscous transonic flow computations

An outline is given of a first version of the computer programme LTRAFV for coupled unsteady transonic flow/turbxilent boundary layer computations. It is a combination of the LTRAN2-NLR programme and the lagentrainment method of Green. A comparison is made of theoretical and experimental results for the NACA64A006 airfoil with oscillating flap...

High subsonic and transonic effects in unsteady aerodynamics

Based on experimental observations an illustration is given of typical effects occiirring in high subsonic and transonic flow around oscillating airfoils and wings. It is shown that in this speed regime the unsteady airloads are influenced considerably by the interaction of the steady and unsteady flow fields. Moreover the periodical motion of...
