Euler calculations of unsteady transonic flow in cascadesIn the present paper, Euler calculations of unsteady transonic flow in cascades are presented. A finite volume scheme is used to discretize the equations, which are implemented on a blade-fitted deformable mesh. The space-discretized equations are integrated forward in time using a multistage Runge-Kutta scheme. Adaptive dissipation terms of the type proposed by Jameson and Baker are added to capture shocks and to suppress nonphysical oscillations. Phase-shifted boundary conditions are used to reduce the computational domain to a single reference passage. No assumptions of small amplitudes or small flow deflections are made. Thus, the present code makes it possible to carry out aeroelastic calculations for cases where the shock strengths and oscillation amplitudes exceed the inherent limitations of potential flow codes.
