Numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for arbitrary two-dimensional airfoilsA method for numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for the flow about arbitrary airfoils or other bodies is presented. This method utilizes a numerically generated curvilinear coordinate system having a coordinate line coincident with the body contour. Streamlines, velocity profiles, and pressure and force coefficients for several airfoils and an arbitrary rock are given. Potential flow solutions are also presented. The procedure capable of treating multiple-element airfoils, and potential flow results are presented.
