In this paper, we construct various special solutions on a convergent-divergent surface for the steady compressible complete Euler system and established the stability of the purely subsonic flows. For a given pressure p0 prescribed at the “entry” of the surface, as the pressure p1 at the “exit” decreases, the flow patterns on the surface change continuously as those happen in a de Laval nozzle...

We analytically study how the behaviour of accretion flows changes when the flow model is varied. We study the transonic properties of the conical flow, a flow of constant height and a flow in vertical equilibrium and show that all these models are basically identical provided the polytropic constant is suitably changed from one model to another. We show that this behaviour is extendible even w...

We show that for steady compressible potential flow in a class of straight divergent nozzles with arbitrary cross-section, if the flow is supersonic and spherically symmetric at the entry, and the given pressure (velocity) is appropriately large (small) and also spherically symmetric at the exit, then there exists uniquely one transonic shock in the nozzle. In addition, the shock-front and the ...

A brief review of laminar flow control techniques is given and a strategy for achieving laminarization for transonic transport aircraft is discussed. A review of some flight-test results on swept-wing transition is presented. It is also shown that polished leading edges can create large regions of laminar flow because the flight environment is relatively turbulence free and the surface finish r...

Abstract. Three-dimensional transonic flow over a delta wing is investigated using several turbulence models. The performance of linear eddy viscosity models and an explicit algebraic stress model is assessed at the start of vortex flow, and the results compared with experimental data. To assess the effect of transition location, computations that either fix transition aft of the leading edge o...

We describe the generic solution of the Riemann problem near a point of resonance in a general 2x2 system of balance laws coupled to a stationary source. The source is treated as a conserved quantity in an augmented 3x3 system, and Resonance is between a nonlinear wave family and the stationary source. Transonic compressible Euler flow in a variable area duct, as well as spherically symmetric f...

in this study, aerodynamic characteristics of a circular cylinder in an axial flow have been investigated numerically and experimentally. the model has been considered as a cylinder with truncated nose and fineness ratio of 3 (length to diameter ratio of 3). the investigation involves a series of wind tunnel measurements, flow visualization, and numerical simulation. we used different mach numb...
