The boundary conditions can thus be satisfied exactly without increasing the computational time. The novel scheme is useful for computing transonic, strong disturbance, unsteady flows with high reduced frequencies. The scheme makes use of curvefitted orthogonal meshes and the lattice control technique to obtain the optimal grid distribution. The numerical results are satisfactory.展开更多

In particular, detailed error analysis based on numerical computations is performed on the accuracy of resolving the local pressure coefficient and global integrated force coefficients for smooth subsonic and non-smooth transonic flows with moving shock waves on a pitching airfoil. For smooth subsonic flows, the Fourier TSM method offers a significant accuracy advantage over the BDF method for the prediction of both the local pressure coefficient and integrated force coefficients. For transonic flows where the motion of the discontinuous shock wave contributes significant higherorder harmonic contents to the local pressure fluctuations,a sufficient number of modes must be included before the Fourier TSM provides an advantage over the BDF method.The Fourier TSM, however, still offers better accuracy than the BDF method for integrated force coefficients even for transonic flows. A problem of non-symmetric solutions for symmetric periodic flows due to the use of odd numbers of intervals is uncovered and analyzed. A frequency-searching method is proposed for problems where the frequency is not known a priori. The method is tested on the vortex shedding problem of the flow over a circular cylinder.展开更多

The wliole work was done in the frame of the European Shock Control Inves tigation Project EUROSHOCK-AER-2, and the global objective was the improvement of the flight performance, in transonic speed, in terms of cruise speed, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions for both laminar and turbulent wings. More specilically the "passive" control of shock/boundary layer interaction, whereby part of the solid suLrfaCe of the airfoil is replaced by a porous surface over a shallow cavity, has been shown to be a means of improving the aerodynamic characteristics of supercritical airfoils.展开更多
文摘Through transformations, the time-dependent boundary condition on the airfoil contour and the boundary condition at infinity are brought fixed to the boundaries of a finite domain. The boundary conditions can thus be satisfied exactly without increasing the computational time. The novel scheme is useful for computing transonic, strong disturbance, unsteady flows with high reduced frequencies. The scheme makes use of curvefitted orthogonal meshes and the lattice control technique to obtain the optimal grid distribution. The numerical results are satisfactory.
文摘A family of variational principles (VP) has been developed for the unsteady inverse problem of the second type I B. It opens new ways for the inverse shape design of unsteady airfoils and can serve as key basis of multipoint inverse shape design of steady airfoils and cascades.
