Non-uniqueness Problems in Transonic Flows

  • Conference paper
IUTAM Symposium Transsonicum IV

Part of the book series: Fluid Mechanics and its Applications ((FMIA,volume 73))

Abstract

In this review paper, multiple numerical solutions of potential, Euler and Navier-Stokes equations for steady transonic flows over symmetric airfoils are presented. Nonuniqueness problems of three dimensional and unsteady flows are also discussed. No experimental data is available for validation of the calculations.
