User's Guide for a System of Computer Programs to Predict Flows over and in the near Wake behind Axisymmetric, Self-Propelled Bodies,

Abstract

A system of computer programs has been developed to predict flows around and in the near wake behind an axisymmetric body including a propeller at the tail of the vehicle. The system is capable of calculating laminar and/or turbulent, attached and separated flows. Interactive boundary-layer theory is used to predict the flow on the nonseparating region over the body and the full Navier-Stokes equations are solved for the separated, propeller and near wake flow regions. Details of the theory and results are included in a separate engineering report. The programs, Subroutines, variables in common and input and output data are described. Listings of the program code, input and output data for a sample case are included. (Author)
