Investigation of Aerodynamic Analysis Problems in Transonis Maneuvering. Volume I.
Abstract
This report describes the results of a study into the general problems of the aerodynamic analysis of airfoils and wings at transonic flight conditions. The basic guideline of this study was to assess, analyze and interpret the various methods available and to explore their further development where possible. The general aspects of the transonic maneuvering problem were reviewed. Particular emphasis was placed on methods for the analysis of airfoils leading to buffet onset prediction. This program includes a potential flow analysis, supercritical pressure calculations, and boundary layer calculation using either a finite-difference method or an integral method. Methods available for predicting pressures on three-dimensional wings are also compared. (Author)
