Inverse Design Calculations for Transonic Cascades

Abstract

The computation methods of the inverse problem and several mixed aerodynamic problems for transonic cascades are presented. The calculations are completed directly on the physical plane by the stream function equation. The corresponding boundary conditions of these problems are transfered into the boundary conditions expressed by stream function with the help of the relations of the basic equations. The methods presented have a clear physical concept and use similar manners of iteration for different problems. The calculations of some examples for the transonic inverse problem indicate this method is very effective. An example is given of a shockless supercritical cascade designed successfuly by the transonic inverse code.
