    Description: Three optimization-based methods for solving aerodynamic design problems are compared. The Euler equations for one-dimensional duct flow was used as a model problem, and the three methods are compared for efficiency, robustness, and implementation difficulty. The smoothness of the design problem with respect to different shock-capturing finite difference schemes, and in the presence of grid refinement, is investigated.

    Description: A computational procedure is developed that uses a moving zonal grid concept to model complex flexible aerospace vehicles. The Euler/Navier-Stokes equations are used to model the flow, and computations are made using efficient methods based on both central and upwind schemes. The structure is represented by a finite element method which can model general aerospace vehicles. Provisions are made to accommodate other disciplines such as controls and thermal loads. The code is capable of computing unsteady flows on flexible wings with vortical flows. Adaptation of this procedure for parallel processing and validation for complete aerospace configurations is in progress.

    Description: A series of experiments are performed in the NASA Lewis Transonic Oscillating Cascade Facility to provide fundamental data quantifying the high subsonic and transonic steady and oscillating aerodynamics of a biconvex airfoil cascade at realistic reduced frequency values for all interblade phase angles. This is accomplished by developing and utilizing an unsteady aerodynamic influence-coefficient technique in which only one cascaded airfoil is oscillated at a time. The vector summation of the resulting airfoil-surface unsteady pressures (measured on a dynamically instrumented airfoil) makes it possible to determine the unsteady aerodynamics of an equivalent cascade with all airfoils oscillating at any specified interblade phase angle.

    Description: Theodorsen's 1948 analog evaluation of the parameters governing the ideal (friction-free) efficiency of propellers is updated and extended by computer. The results are presented both in his format and in a much more convenient one by Kramer that avoids iteration: curves of power coefficient at constant ideal efficiency are plotted vs propeller advance coefficient. The curves for a wide range of blade numbers are collapsed into just three sets (with some approximation) by use of multiple, shifted (and distorted) abscissae scales. Along with an overview of Theodorsen's theory, analytic asymptotic results at low and high advance coefficients are given. At the low end, the disagreement with actuator disk theory is given support and physical interpretation. At the high end, exact agreement is found with the thrust of a slender twisted delta propeller.

    Description: The present treatment of the inviscid flow past an ellipse via the numerical solution of the Euler equations yields a lifting solution for any combination of grid and/or angle of attack which is nonsymmetric, in order to illustrate the CFD challenge posed by this unusual flow behavior. The results obtained call into question the general capability and validity of numerical Euler results in the realm of conventional difference methods; specifically, the mechanism generating lifting results is not understood, and the problem's resolution is not yet in sight.

    Description: The last ten years have yielded intriguing research results on aerodynamic boundary outer-layer manipulators as local skin friction reduction devices at low Reynolds numbers; net drag reduction device systems for entire aerodynamic configurations are nevertheless noted to remain elusive. Evidence has emerged for dramatic alterations of the structure of a turbulent boundary layer which persist for long distances downstream and reduce wall shear as a results of any one of several theoretically possible mechanisms. Reduced effectiveness at high Reynolds numbers may, however, limit the applicability of outer-layer manipulators to practical aircraft drag reduction.

    Description: An account is given of the development status and performance levels achieved with natural laminar flow (NLF), extended wing chord laminar flow control (LFC), and hybrid laminar flow control (HLFC) concepts combining NLF and partial-chord LFC in the leading-edge region. Attention is given to NLF wing structure construction methods capable of achieving the requisite surface-irregularity tolerances, LFC through wing surface suction slots or perforated skins, and the deleterious effects of insects, ice crystals, and noise disturbance inputs on the ability of NLF, LFC, and HLFC wings to maintain effective laminar flow operation.
