X Abstract

The flow over a supercritical airfoil in the transonic regime contains a lot of complex physical phenomena and interactions. High demands are made on the numerical model for an accurate numerical investigation of such a flow type. High-order (N ≥ 5) WENO (Weighted Essentially Nonoscillatory) schemes are appropriate for the numerical simulation of transonic flows, as they have the capability to capture shocks, resolve vortices, and predict their interactions. A high-order finite difference WENO scheme is applied to simulate the unsteady flow over the supercritical BAC3-11 [1] airfoil. The numerical results are compared with experiments carried out in a transonic shock tube and found in good agreement with the experimental data. The influences of Ma and Re number are studied.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
