The perturbation theory for transonic flow is further developed for solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions or for experimental results. The strained coordinate technique is used to treat changes in location of any shock waves or large gradients.

Transonic flow past two cusped airfoils is numerically solved and achieved results are analyzed by means of flow behavior and oblique shocks formation.Regions around sharp trailing edges are studied in detail and parameters of shock waves are solved and compared using classical shock polar approach and verified by reduction parameters for symmetric configurations.

SummaryAn account is given of a numerical method for calculating transonic flow past an aerofoil with an allowance for viscous effects, providing that the boundary layer remains fully attached over the aerofoil surface. The method has been developed by combining, in an iterative manner, calculations of the inviscid flow with calculations of the compressible boundary layer and wake. The solution for the inviscid flow is obtained by an iterative scheme, originally established by Garabedian & Korn, which has been modified to give a more realistic representation of shock waves. The boundary-layer development is treated as laminar initially; at a certain transition position a turbulent boundary layer is assumed to develop, and this is determined by the lag-entrainment method of Green et al. Comparisons of the results from the numerical scheme with some experimental measurements are shown for various examples in which shock waves of moderate strength are present. The method predicts, with reasonable accuracy, both the detailed pressure distribution and the variation of drag coefficient with lift coefficient.
