Viscous–inviscid interaction in transonic Prandtl–Meyer flow

Quasi-Simultaneous Viscous-Inviscid Interaction for Transonic Airfoil Flow

Following Prandtl, a viscous-inviscid interaction (VII) method is presented, where the flow field is divided into a viscous shear layer and an inviscid outer region. Their coupling is performed with the quasi-simultaneous approach, making use of an appropriately chosen interaction law. Firstly, an engineering example of transonic airfoil flow is presented, in which the interaction law is based ...

Transonic Flow Calculations

In these lectures I shall attempt to survey some of the principal recent developments in computational aerodynamics. Prior to 1960 computational methods were hardly used in aerodynamic analysis, although they were already widely used for structural analysis. The NACA 6 series of airfoils had been developed during the forties, using hand computation to perform the Theodorsen method for conformal...

Airfoil-Gust Interactions in Transonic Flow

Leading edge noise is a significant broadband noise source in aircraft engines, and is the primary broadband noise mechanism in outlet guide vane noise in turbofans, and broadband rotor wake interaction noise in contra-rotating open rotor engines. Previous authors have studied the effects of various aspects relating to this noise source, including airfoil geometry effects, cascade effects, and ...

Analysis of Interference Drag for Strut-Strut Interaction in Transonic Flow

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed to predict the interference drag produced by two streamlined struts intersecting at various angles in transonic flow since no relevant experimental data are available for use in design studies. The one-equation Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model was employed in a RANS formulation assuming fully-turbulent flow. Selected cases were run ...
