Transonic airfoil analysis and design

Leland A. Carlson

Abstract

TRANDES program provides aircraft engineer with accurate and efficient tool for analysis of steady, irrotational, transonic flow over specified two dimensional airfoil in free air. Program is used to design airfoils having prescribed pressure distribution, including effects of weak viscous interaction. TRANDES yield accurate solutions efficiently for biconvex, conventional, and aftcambered airfoils.
