Sarıgöl, Barkin (author)
Various potential flow methods with different assumptions are available to quantify the efficiency increase and thrust provided by a swirl recovery vane (SRV). In this paper, thrust coefficients and efficiency results obtained by different potential flow methods for the same SRV geometry at different advance ratios are presented. The methods...

At the moment, the world is at the verge of an energy transition. One of the most promising green resources is solar energy, which is a rapidly growing market. However, to fully use its potential of economy of scale, the application of offshore floating solar should be explored. A promising option is the use of a flexible type of Very Large...

Floating offshore wind turbines can only withstand a limited amount of (heave) motions before the equipment fails. In order to reduce the heave motion, the DeepCwind floater for offshore floating wind turbines makes use of heave plates. This semi-submersible floater consists of three cylindrical columns with a heave plate attached to the bottom...

Low-fidelity isogeometric aeroelastic analysis has not received much attention since the introduction of the isogeometric analysis (IGA) concept, while the combination of IGA and the boundary element method in the form of the potential flow theory shows great potential. This paper presents a two-dimensional low-fidelity aeroelastic optimization...

Regnström, B. (author)
The Theodorsen-Garrick conformal mapping is used to make a grid around a wing section and to compute the potential flow around it. The potential flow is a solution to the incompressible Euler equations and can be used to verify the inviscid part of RANS codes.

Van Staveren, W.H.J.J. (author)
The response of aircraft to stochastic atmospheric turbulence plays an important role in aircraft-design (load calculations), Flight Control System (FCS) design and flight-simulation (handling qualities research and pilot training). In order to simulate these aircraft responses, an accurate mathematical model is required. Two classical models...

The mathematical background is described of a method that is currently being developed at NLR to calculated wave drag in transonic potential flow. The method is a generalization and extension of Garabedian's and McFadden's idea of determining wave drag by volume-integration of the artificial viscosity. The generalization of Garabedian's and...

Hoeijmakers, H.W.M. (author)
The physical aspects, the mathematical modeling, the development and application of computational methods for the simulation of vertical flows are described. The high-Reynolds number vortex flows considered are assumed to be steady, sub-critical and such that the structure of the flow is well-ordered and consists of thin shear layers and slender...

A description is given of the method CAR88 for the calculation of steady and time-linearized unsteady subsonic and supersonic flow about complex 2-D and 3-D configurations. The method belongs to the category of the socalled panel methods. Results of applications in supersonic flow are shown which have been made to a 2-D oscillating flat plate, a...

A new method ARNSPNS is described for the calculation of steady and time-linearized unsteady incompressible potential flow about arbitrary lifting and nonlifting bodies in an arbitrary mean steady flow field, including rotation. The method belongs to the category of the so-called panel methods. Applications have been made to wind turbines...

Slooff, J.W. (author)
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,...

Smith, J. (author)
The applicability of two-dimensional flexible solid wall test sections for three-dimensional testing is theoretically investigated for linearized subsonic flow. The method uses known interference velocity distributions along a targer line (derived from a method of images for this particular study). From these, wall shapes are calculated that...

de Bruin, A.C. (author)
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...

Boerstoel, J.W. (author)
A survey of numerical methods for the calculation of inviscid Euler flows is presented. This survey has been prepared for AGAKD FDP WGOT: "Test cases for steady inviscid transonic or supersonic flows". The survey is augmented by a short assessment of the usefulness of the methods. For aerodynamic applications, the existing methods are in a...

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...

At NLR a system for the computational design on multi-element airfoil has been developed. This design system solves the inverse aerodynamic problem in an approximate way. A priori specified aerodynamic requirements (surface pressure distribution) and geometric requirements are minimized in a least-squares way, introducing weight factors to...

A fully-conservative- finite difference algorithm is described to calculate the incompressible flow through a straight channel of varying rectangular cross section. Both the width and the height of the channel may vary independently. The algorithm has been used successfully in the design of the German-Dutch low speed wind tionel (DNW).
