Computation of Supersonic Flow over Flying Configurations

Preface

The author proposes in this book new, original, reinforced, zonal, spectral solutions for the partial differential equations (PDEs) of the three-dimensional compressible Navier—Stokes layer (NSL), which govern the flow over the flying configurations (FCs), in subsonic and supersonic flow. These solutions start from the remark that the perturbation of the flow produced by an FC, which has a progressive movement, has potential character, after start from rest and before going to rest. Therefore the corresponding potential flow can be seen as an asymptotical solution of Navier—Stokes PDEs, at the NSL’s edge. These NSL’s solutions use the analytical potential solutions of the flow over the same FC twice: firstly, as outer flow, at the NSL’s ...
