Description:
The numerical procedures previously developed for computing nonlinear and time-linearized small-perturbation unsteady transonic flows are briefly reviewed, and the effects of unsteady modes of motion on two-dimensional transonic flows are evaluated. The numerical procedure used comprises an alternating-direction implicit scheme and treats shock waves as discontinuities in the flow. Comparison of the time-linearized results with fully nonlinear calculations delineates their range of applicability. The unsteady behavior due to harmonic pitching and flap oscillations of an NACA airfoil is also examined.
