| Description | A program called ALESEP is presented for the analysis of the inviscid-viscous interaction which occurs due to the presence of a closed laminar-transitional separation bubble on an airfoil or infinite swept wing. The ALESEP code provides an iterative solution of the boundary layer equations expressed in an inverse formulation coupled to a Cauchy integral representation of the inviscid flow. This interaction analysis is treated as a local perturbation to a known solution obtained from a global airfoil analysis; hence, part of the required input to the ALESEP code are the reference displacement thickness and tangential velocity distributions. Special windward differencing may be used in the reversed flow regions of the separation bubble to accurately account for the flow direction in the discretization of the streamwise convection of momentum. The ALESEP code contains a forced transition model based on a streamwise intermittency function, a natural transition model based on a solution of the integral form of the turbulent kinetic energy equation, and an empirical natural transition model. |
