Implementation of the Supersonic Triplet Singularity into the USTORE Computer Code

摘要

The development of the supersonic triplet singularity to alleviate interior wave propagation problems experienced with a constant source surface panel singularity distribution on bodies in supersonic flow is discussed. The applicability of the triplet is investigated. It is found that the triplet singularity works well for isolated bodies of revolution with axisymmetric panelling. The triplets are generally not effective in dealing with non-axisymmetry effects and interference effects.
