Vortex element methods for fluid dynamic analysis of engineering systems

Book ·
OSTI ID:226948
This book consists of two parts (a total of 12 chapters), an appendix (17 computer programs), a bibliography, and an index. Part one, entitled: The surface vorticity method for inviscid ideal flow, is comprised of six chapters: The basis of surface singularity modeling; lifting bodies, two-dimensional aerofoils and cascades; mixed-flow and radial cascades; bodies of revolution, ducts and annuli; ducted propellers and fans; and three-dimensional and meridional flows in turbomachines. Part two, entitled: Free shear layers, vortex dynamics and vortex cloud analysis, covers the remaining five chapters: Free vorticity shear layers and inverse methods; vortex dynamics in inviscid flows; simulation of viscous diffusion in discrete vortex modeling; vortex cloud modeling by the boundary integral method; further development and applications of vortex cloud modeling to lifting bodies and cascades; and, use of grid systems in vortex dynamics and meridional flows.
