Dynamic Tests in Transonic Flow

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 ...

XIX Biannual Symposium on Measuring Techniques in Turbomachinery Transonic and Supersonic Flow in Cascades and Turbomachines PROBES IN TRANSONIC FLOW

A constraint exists for intrusive probes in transonic flow which leads to a complete insensitivity to static pressure at Mach number Ma=1. Nearby Mach number unity different types of probes are affected more or less by the reduced sensitivity to static pressure or Mach number. In this paper three types of probes are compared and it is shown that the reduced sensitivity near Ma=1 causes large er...

Unsteady Transonic Nozzle Flow with Heat Addition

One-sided difference schemes and transonic flow.

Two one-sided conservation form difference approximations to a scalar one-dimensional convex conservation law are introduced. These are respectively of first- and second-order accuracy and each has the minimum possible band-width. They are nonlinearly stable, they converge only to solutions satisfying the entropy condition, and they have sharp monotone profiles. No such stable approximation of ...
