Analysis and Comparison of Transonic Buffet Phenomenon over Several Three-Dimensional Wings

Three Dimensional Transonic Flow Computations Over a Projectile and at the Base Region

Iterative Solution of Transonic Flows over Airfoils and Wings,

Transonic aerodynamics is the focus of strong interest at the present time because it is known to encompass one of the most efficient regimes of flight. While current transport aircraft operate just below the speed of sound, more radical aerodynamic designs, such as R. T. Jones’ proposal for a yawed wing in [1], favor operation at low supersonic speeds in the range from Mach 1 to 1.3 (a regime ...

Multiple Solutions and Buffet of Transonic Flow over the NACA0012 Airfoil

Multiple solutions of the small-disturbance potential equation and the full potential equation were known for the NACA0012 airfoil in a certain range of transonic Mach numbers and at zero angle of attack. However the multiple solutions for this particular airfoil were not observed using Euler or Navier-Stokes equations under the above flow conditions. In the present work, both the Unsteady Reyn...

Numerical Study of Transonic Buffet on a Supercritical Airfoil

The flow of the Bauer–Garabedian–Korn (BGK) No. 1 supercritical airfoil is investigated by the solution of the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations with a two-equation lagged k–ω turbulent model. Two steady cases (M = 0.71, α= 1.396 deg and M = 0.71, α= 9.0 deg) and one unsteady case (M = 0.71, α= 6.97 deg), all with a far-stream Reynolds number of 20 × 106, are computed. The resu...

A Numerical Study of Transonic Buffet on a Supercritical Airfoil

The steady/unsteady flow of the BGK No. 1 supercritical airfoil is investigated by the solution of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations with a two-equation k-ω turbulence model. The dual-time stepping method is used to march in time. Two steady cases ( 71 . 0 = Ma , 396 . 1 = α and 71 . 0 = Ma , 0 . 9 = α ) and one unsteady case ( 71 . 0 = Ma , 97 . 6 = α ), both with a far-stream 6 10...
