Algorithm development with applications to aerodynamics and aeroelasticityThe development of a streamwise upwind algorithm is presented. Applications of this algorithm to steady flow over a delta wing and unsteady flow over an oscillating wing, respectively, are covered. An extension to higher order accuracy for upwind methods is discussed. This scheme will use the compatibility relations for the extension. The use of multiple zones in the calculation of unsteady flows is considered. Multiple zones are one way to treat complex configurations, such as complete aircraft. Aeroelastic calculations are discussed. A procedure for aeroelastic calculations is described that simultaneously solves the aerodynamic and structural equations of motion. Sample calculations are given to illustrate the above.
