A flow analysis procedure based on velocity potentials
Abstract
The present paper describes the development of a successful flow analysis procedure based on a new scheme of constructing analytical interpolation functions for the velocity potential. The four-point, two-dimensional interpolation scheme is harmonic and possesses the mathematical property of completeness to the second order. The pressure distribution calculated by the present method on configurations with rapid curvature change are correlated with published experimental results. Surface streamlines calculated on automobile-shaped, wing-tip regions and wing-body combinations are presented with the separation boundary predicted by boundary analysis along the streamlines.
