Numerical simulation of viscous transonic flows over an airfoil (Q1892196): Difference between revisions

High Reynolds number viscous transonic flow is described based on an interaction of the potential outer flow with the boundary layer and wake. Following the procedure of \textit{M. Lighthill} [J. Fluid Mech. 4(4), 383- 392 (1958; Zbl 0081.408)], the solutions in these domains are matched to each other by boundary conditions. The solution to the complete problem is obtained iteratively by successive computations of the flows in the outer and inner domains. Both old and new algorithms are used for the iteration process and subsequent problem solution. Results are given for all the airfoils from the Experimental Data Base for Computer Program Assessment (AGARD-AR-138, 1979).
