Abstract

The effect of small perturbations on steady nonlinear transonic small disturbance flowfields, in the context of two-dimensional flows governed by the general-frequency transonic small disturbance equation with nonreflecting far-field boundary conditions, is investigated. This paper presents a time-linearised time-domain solution method that includes effects due to the shock-generated entropy and vorticity and shock wave motions. The solution procedure correctly accounts for the small-amplitude shock wave motion due to small unsteady changes in the aerofoil boundary conditions, and correctly models a flowfield with embedded strong shock waves. Steady and first harmonic pressure distributions for the NACA 0003 aerofoil with a harmonically oscillating flap, and NACA 0012 aerofoil undergoing a sinusoidal pitching oscillation, are predicted and compared with the Euler results.
