A Transonic model representation for two-dimensional wall interference assessment

A method for determining 2D wall interference on an aerofoil from measured pressure distributions near the walls and on the model

A "measured-boundary-condition" method for determining 2D wall interference has been developed. It applies measured "wall" pressure distributions and a model representation to determine the 2D interference flow field associated with the presence of the test section walls. Special attention has been paid to the model representation. The...

Computations with the Garabedian and Korn program for two-dimensional transonic flows with embedded shocks

The report describes experiences with the Garabedian and Korn program for the computation of compressible potential flows, with or without shocks, both supercritical shockless flows and flows with shock waves. Computations for a number of quasi-elliptical aerofoils indicated that the conformal mapping procedure should be handled with care....
