Numerical solution of transonic wing flowfields

A fast, fully implicit, approximate factorization algorithm designed to solve the conservative full-potential equation is used to compute lifting-wing flowfields with embedded transonic flow. The computer program (TWING—transonic wing analysis) uses an elliptic-solver numerical grid-generation routine and is capable of analyzing arbitrary wing geometries with sweep, twist, taper, and section variation. Computed flowfield results for several wing geometries are presented; they demonstrate substantial improvement in convergence speed relative to the FLO28 computer code.
