Airfoil Design Methods - Stanford University

Laminar flow may be useful for reducing skin friction drag, increasing maximum lift, or reducing heat transfer. It may be achieved without too much work at low Reynolds numbers by maintaining a smooth surface and using an airfoil with a favorable pressure gradient. The section below shows how the pressures may be tailored to achieve long

Using Computational Fluid Dynamics for Aerodynamics

aero-comlab.stanford.edu

Directions in Computational Fluid Dynamics”, it was stated “computational fluid dynamics is capable of simulating flow in complex geometries with simple physics or flow with simple geometries with more complex physics”. This is not true anymore thanks to progress in computers and algorithm developments.

Cubic Splines - Stanford University

aero-comlab.stanford.edu

To study convergence properties of splines we need an estimate of the norm of the inverse of the matrix Bof the equations for the spline. Taking kxk= maxjx ij the induced norm of Bis kBk= sup x6=0 kBxk kxk = max i Xn j=1 jb ijj 9. With a diagonally dominant matrix we have kyk= kBxk = max i Xn j=1 b ijx j Xn j=1 b ijx j where kxk= jx kj, or kyk ...
