Abstract

Program uses fast iteration scheme for solving transonic flow field around arbitrary airfoils. Transonic Airfoil Analysis Computer Code, TAIR, employs fast, fully implicit algorithm to solve conservative full-potiential equation for steady transonic flow field about arbitrary airfoil immersed in subsonic free stream. TAIR written in FORTRAN IV.
