Explore how engineers model transonic flow over swept wings with advanced numerical methods.

This book presents a rigorous approach to predicting inviscid, compressible flow using the full potential equation. It explains how a rotated finite-difference scheme, non-conservative in form, can be combined with coordinate transformations to capture flow details near the wing leading edge and along a vortex sheet.

This work frames the geometry, transformations, and numerical techniques needed to solve complex flow fields around swept configurations. It discusses the challenges of shocks, boundary layers, and the importance of preserving shock jumps, offering practical guidance on when conservation-form schemes are beneficial. The presentation is grounded in a clear sequence from physical space to computational domain, helping you understand how the method handles real-world wing shapes and attitudes.

How to set up a finite-difference model for transonic flow past a swept wing
Transformations that simplify boundary conditions and mesh design
How non-conservative schemes affect shock capture and when to apply conservation form
Strategies for handling vortex sheets and trailing-edge behavior in simulations

Ideal for readers involved in computational fluid dynamics and aerospace engineering, this edition provides a concrete path from theory to implementable calculation for swept-wing configurations.
