An Evaluation of Four Methods of Numerical Analysis for Two-Dimensional Airfoil Flows. Revision.

Abstract

Four computer programs for analyzing the inviscid and boundary layer flow over two dimensional airfoils are exercised in comparisons against experimental data from two wind tunnel studies. The solution method of each computer program is discussed, followed by a description of the airfoil geometries used in the model comparisons. Measured values of pressure distribution, turbulent separation point, and boundary layer properties are compared against predicted values.
