چکیده
This article outlines some of the principal issues in the development of numerical methods for the prediction of flows over aircraft and their use in the design process. These include the choice of an appropriate mathematical model, the design of shock-capturing algorithms, the treatment of complex geometric configurations, and shape modifications to optimize the aerodynamic performance.

متن کاملRe-engineering Aerodynamics Education
Aerodynamics curriculum in undergraduate engineering has reached a critical juncture forcing the need for change in the traditional, largely theoretical curriculum and lecturer/listener pedagogy. The role of aerodynamics in aerospace engineering, while still important, is no longer the dominant driver in aircraft design. Furthermore, industry, government, and academia --the likely employers of ...
متن کاملComputational algorithms for aerodynamic analysis and design *
While the applications of computational fluid dynamics are pervasive throughout applied science and engineering, ranging from astrophysics to the design of cooling systems for semi-conductors, its role in aircraft design is crucial to an unusual extent, because of the narrow margins within which aircraft can operate efficiently. If computational aerodynamics is to be truly effective in the desi...
متن کاملCoupled Aeroelastic Vortex Lattice Modeling of Flexible Aircraft
This paper presents a recently developed computational tool for aeroelastic analysis of aircraft performance. The computational tool couples a vortex-lattice code, Vorview, with an aeroelastic model that computes wing structural deflections under a combined coupled bending-torsion motion. The aeroelastic model of the wing structure is based on a one-dimensional structural dynamic theory using s...
متن کاملPropulsion System Modeling and Takeoff Distance Calculations for a Powered-Lift Aircraft with Circulation-Control Wing Aerodynamics
The computation of takeoff distance for powered-lift aircraft is complicated because of the coupling of aerodynamic performance (lift, drag and moment coefficients) with forward speed. Cal Poly has developed an analysis procedure to capture this coupling, and the development of this procedure is continuing. In the past year, Cal Poly has completed a Phase I NRA contract from the NASA for the co...
