MultiElement Airfoils 4.1 Navier-Stokes Solutions
MultiElement Airfoils can be used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations
governing viscous compressible flows. The current capability is for laminar
flows with Reynolds numbers less than 50,000. This is useful for
analyzing household equipment, hand launched gliders and airfoils for micro
UAVs.
The following computations were performed using an automatic
cartesian grid generation routine. The method features our original boundary
scheme for compressible flows. Designers and engineers can use the new version
of MultiElement Airfoils to test unconventional shapes used for sails, race
car wing and spoilers and airplane control surfaces.
