General Similarity Solution of the Tricomi Equations and Its Applications

Abstract

List of Research Objectives: 1) develop the formalism for the general similarity solution of the Tricomic equation which is the hodograph equation of transonic small-disturbance theory; 2) study higher order approximations in perturbation theory, for transonic flow with the aim of clarifying the ambiguity of the transonic similarity parameter K; and 3) study the nose singularity for a rounded nose airfoil in transonic flow and develop a local approximation based on the exact equations.
