transport airplane configurations. The combination of complexity in flow physics, geometry …

A survey is conducted of CFD methods applied to the computation of high-lift multi-element
configurations over the last 10–15 years. Both 2-D and 3-D configurations are covered. The …

High-lift devices play a vital role in most commercial airplanes' design, maintenance, safety,
and performance. The design of high-lift devices is complex due to the flow physics …

DURING the past few years, computational fluid dynamics has progressed to the point that
routine, accurate inviscidflow computations are now possible for practical, realistic …

The drag prediction workshop series, held over the last six years and sponsored by the AIAA
Applied Aerodynamics Committee, has been extremely useful in providing an assessment of …

A one-equation linear turbulence model and a two-equation nonlinear explicit algebraic
stress model (EASM) are applied to the ow over a multielement airfoil. The effect of the K–" …

A recent focus on revolutionary aerodynamic concepts has highlighted the technology
needs of general aviation and personal aircraft. New and stringent restrictions on these …

An overview of current unstructured-mesh discretization and solution techniques is given.
Cell-centered vs vertexcentered discretizations are discussed, as well as issues of grid …

A hybrid RANS/LES approach is presented and assessed considering several flows, which
can be interpreted as the most general case of the NLDE approach as defined by Morris et …

A method for simulating two-dimensional, high-Reynolds-number, compressible flows about
complex geometries is described. The solution methodology consists of three main …
