Research on Topics in Transonic Flow Theory and Adaptive Grid Generation.
Abstract
This report summarizes work concerned with some topics connected with a transonic flow theory and also some problems in adaptive mesh procedures. The work on adaptive mesh procedures is concerned with the development of adaptive mesh strategies and solution procedures for highly clustered adaptive meshes. It has been found that the strong conservation law form of the governing equations in computational variables cannot capture the shock waves correctly for arbitrary clustering. Methods for correcting this problem have been investigated. The work on transonic flow theory is concerned with the existence of multiple solutions in full potential calculations. Since the full potential equation is difficult to analyze compared with small disturbance equation, multiple solutions have been found using transonic small disturbance theory. These results have been analyzed using the transonic integral equation theory and indicate that the transonic potential theory is not formulated uniquely.
