Numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for arbitrary two-dimensional multi-element airfoils

Abstracts are presented on a method of numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equation for the flow about arbitrary airfoils, using a numerically generated curvilinear coordinate system having a coordinate line coincident with the body contour. Results of continuing research are reported and include: application of the Navier-Stokes solution in the vorticity-stream function formulation to a number of single airfoils at Reynolds numbers up to 2000; programming of the Navier-Stokes solution for multiple airfoils in the primitive variable formulation; testing of the potential flow solution of multiple bodies; and development of a generalized coordinate system program.
