Abstract
The TSFOIL small disturbance potential code is coupled to Green's lag entrainment method to compute transonic separated flows over airfoils. Green's equation serves as a viscous tangency condition for the TSFOIL code, eliminating an iterative procedure between the viscous and inviscid flows. The method is applied to the case of the NASA Supercritical Airfoil 12 and the 18% Circular Arc Airfoil, the latter with severe separation.
