On the prediction of viscous phenomena in transonic flows

An algorithm developed by MacCormack (1971) and applied to transonic flows by Deiwert (1974) is used in the reported investigation. The investigation is concerned with flows of aerodynamic interest. However, many of the concepts apply equally to flows in turbomachinery. Turbulent transonic flows are considered, taking into account a biconvex circular arc and a shockless lifting airfoil. A simple algebraic eddy viscosity model is used for the description of the turbulent transport process.
