TRANDES: A FORTRAN program for transonic airfoil analysis or design

Leland A. Carlson

Open full text 21 citations

Abstract

A program called TRANDES is presented that is used for the analysis of steady, irrotational transonic flow over specified two-dimensional airfoils in free air or for the design of airfoils having a prescribed pressure distribution, including the effects of weak viscous interaction. Instructions on program usage, listings of the program, and sample cases are given.
