Application of the TranAir full-potential code to the F-16A

The TranAir computer code solves the full-potential equation for transonic flow by combining a rectangular box of flowfield grid points with networks of surface panels. Complex geometries are easily represented since surface-conforming flowfield grids are not used. Wing pressures predicted by TranAir are compared to windtunnel data at a = 4 deg for Mw = 0.6 and 0.9. The higher Mach number condition produces supercritical flow and demonstrates TranAir's shock-capturing capability.
