The Application of an Unfactored Method to the Simulation of Nonlinear Aerofoil Responses: Part I - Verification for Inviscid Flows. G.U. Aero Report 9432

Abstract

An unfactored solution method developed for the Navier-Stokes equations is applied to study the nonlinear aeroelastic response of an aerofoil. A loosely coupled approach is adopted with the structural equations and the flow equations being solved in sequence. The flow solver efficiency is compared with the standard ADI method and the results are compared with previous computations for the NACA64A006 aerofoil
