Atkin, C.J. (2014). Convergence of calculated transition loci during computational analysis of transonic aerofoils and infinite swept wings. Paper presented at the 29th Congress of the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences, ICAS 2014, 7-12 Sep 2014, St Petersburg, Russia.
Abstract
The effect of intermittent re-calculation of transition position is analysed using a low-order VII platform coupled to an Orr-Sommerfeld-type stability analysis method. Transonic aerofoil and infinite-swept wing flows were studied. Where the transition mechanisms are weakly dependent on the gross flow field characteristics, as few as ten transition updates may be required over a 1000- iteration CFD solution, if correctly timed.
