Predict transonic flow over swept wings with a robust numerical method. This edition explains how the full potential equation is solved on complex wing geometries.
This book presents a practical approach to predicting inviscid, transonic flows around swept wings. It describes a finite-difference framework and a rotated difference scheme, focusing on how geometry and coordinate choices affect accuracy and stability in simulations.
- Learn how coordinate transformations and conformal mappings simplify boundary conditions on wing surfaces.
- Understand how nonconservative and conservative formulations influence shock behavior and modeling of shock-boundary layer interactions.
- See how vortex sheets and trailing-edge dynamics are represented in a numerical setting.
- Explore the setup of a rectangular computational domain and the handling of far-field and near-edge regions with stretching transformations.
Ideal for readers of computational aerodynamics and engineers seeking a clear view of translating theory into a working simulation for transonic wing flows.
