| Description | A thin-layer Navier-Stokes has been developed for solving high Reynolds number, turbulent flows past aircraft components under transonic flow conditions. The computer code has been validated through data comparisons for flow past isolated wings, wing-body configurations, prolate spheroids and wings mounted inside wind-tunnels. The basic code employs an explicit Runge-Kutta time-stepping scheme to obtain steady state solution to the unsteady governing equations. Significant gain in the efficiency of the code has been obtained by implementing a multigrid acceleration technique to achieve steady-state solutions. The improved efficiency of the code has made it feasible to conduct grid-refinement and turbulence model studies in a reasonable amount of computer time. The non-equilibrium turbulence model of Johnson and King has been extended to three-dimensional flows and excellent agreement with pressure data has been obtained for transonic separated flow over a transport type of wing. |
