Abstract:A potential transonic solver with an embedded wake is presented. The flow outside of attached boundary layers of streamlined bodies flying at high Reynold numbers can be assumed to be irrotational and isentropic. This assumption reduces the Navier-Stokes equations to a single scalar nonlinear partial differential equation, namely the full-potential equation (FPE). The FPE expresses the conservation of mass in terms of the velocity potential. In this work, the FPE is discretized using a standard Galerkin finite… Show more
