Influence of the Laminar and Turbulent Boundary Layers in Unsteady Two-Dimensional Viscous- Inviscid Coupled Calculations

  • Conference paper
Unsteady Turbulent Shear Flows

Abstract

Within the framework of research on unsteady flows performed at ONERA, a calculation method of two- dimensional unsteady flows in which the effects of the unsteady boundary layers on the profile are taken into account has been developed in incompressible and in transonic regime.

The methods used are briefly described. The results obtained show, by comparison with results of inviscid flow calculations, the influence of viscous effects on unsteady pressure distributions, on total force coefficients and on shock-wave intensity and location.
