Computation of Transonic Flows Applying Shock Boundary Layer Interaction Control

  • Chapter
Book cover EUROSHOCK - Drag Reduction by Passive Shock Control

Part of the book series: Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics (NNFM) ((NONUFM,volume 56))

Summary

This article presents the results of the NLR contribution to the computational part (Task 2) of the Brite/Euram project EUROSHOCK. The aim of this work is the investigation of passive control at transonic flow conditions. For this purpose the NLR has extended its two-dimensional unsteady viscous transonic flow code ULTRAN-V with several control models in order to simulate passive control. In this article the implementation of the different control models is described. Results of the calculations performed for several test cases will be presented and discussed to evaluate the potential of passive control to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of transonic airfoil sections.
