Numerical and Physical Aspects of Aerodynamic Flows III

Abstract

In studies of the unsteady aerodynamic and aeroelastic properties of wings, control surfaces, and rotating blades of helicopters, propellers, and com-pressors, a challenging problem of practical interest is the prediction of unsteady airloads at separated flow conditions. Until recently a theoretical prediction of these airloads was generally considered to be possible only by using methods based on the Navier-Stokes equations. From such methods various successful applications have been made to attached and separated unsteady transonic flows [443, 463-466]. However, because of the large computational effort required, these methods are not yet feasible for engineering purposes.

This investigation has been carried out under contract with the Netherlands Agency for Aerospace Programs NIVR (Contract No. 1994).
