Abstract:
This paper presents some results comparing the use of the Full Potential equations, coupled with the turbulent integral boundary layer equations for aircraft transonic cruise analysis. Use of such a method in the conceptual design stage is shown to be capable of yielding accurate enough data in a few minutes on a single processor, where Navier - Stokes simulations on 100+ processors take several days.
