Application of the Viscous-Inviscid Interaction Method to the Analysis of Airfoil Flows at Low Reynolds Numbers.

Abstract

This thesis shows the capability of strong viscous/inviscid interaction methods to predict airfoil flows at low Reynolds numbers. Cebeci's interactive program was applied to the Wortmann-Althaus FX 63-137 airfoil and the results were compared with the available experimental data. It was found that the boundary layer transition model has an important influence on the predictive capability of viscous/inviscid interaction methods.
