A zonal flow analysis method for two-dimensional airfoils

Computational prediction of airfoil dynamic stall

“…It can be seen that the zonal method is capable of predicting attached or mildly separated flows as accurately as the full Navier-Stokes method. A viscous-inviscid interaction procedure was also used in Refs (54,145) for the computation of steady-state incompressible flows over airfoils and wings. In Ref.…”

“…In Ref. (145), the near-field solution was obtained from the solution of the compressible flow equations.…”
