Abstract
An unfactored implicit method for the unsteady, turbulent Navier-Stokes equations is adapted for pitching aerofoil flows. The mesh is moved rigidly with the aerofoil. Parameter tests on the method are presented. Test cases examined are from the AGARD aeroelastic configurations and involve the NACA0012 and NACA64A010 aerofoils. Detailed comparisons with experiment are presented
