Some Topics in Computational Transonic Aerodynamics. A Revised Paper Based on a Presentation Given at the IUTAM Symposium TRANSSONICUM III

摘要

Transonic aerodynamics research has been extensively conducted at National Aerospace Laboratory, Japan. Progress in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) application is remarkable. N-S codes for airfoil, wing and full-configuration have been developed. The codes revealed various viscous effects which otherwise were not predicted by past inviscid codes and were validated with wind tunnel test results. These N-S codes proved to be excellent as practical design tools for designing such aircraft as the Boeing-Japan 7J7. A versatile wing design code was combined with various flow solvers and used for practical purpose. The paper covers some topics of recent computational aerodynamics in transonic research.
