Numerical methods in fluid dynamics
Abstract
Transonic flow calculations are examined, taking into account the formulation of transonic flow problems, the solution of the transonic small-disturbance equation, the solution of the exact potential flow equation, accelerated iterative methods, and various applications, including airfoil calculations using a mapping to a circle, boundary-layer correction, nacelle calculations, and the calculation of the flow past a swept wing. The application of numerical methods to physiological flows is considered along with some recent progress in transonic flow computations, panel methods in aerodynamics, analysis and design methods for three-dimensional flows, and the direct numerical simulation of complex gas-dynamics flows on the basis of Euler, Navier-Stokes, and Boltzmann models. Attention is given to prosthetic heart valves, local vessel constrictions, steady three-dimensional flows about wings and wing-fuselage configurations, the analysis of inviscid unsteady transonic flows, the computation of separated transonic turbulent flows about airfoils, the finite-volume method, airfoil design by numerical optimization, and transonic small-disturbance theory.
