A new time-dependent, finite difference scheme is developed with several specific objectives in mind. First, accurate implementation of the boundary conditions is very important due to the reflective nature of the hyperbolic equations governing noise propagation. Thus, one objective of the method is that the numerical solution should be developed around a general mapping procedure. A number of different approaches to numerical mapping may be found in the literature.

This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages that underlie the growth of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and its increasing role in the design of new flight vehicles. CFD tools are important because they reduce the amount of experimental development work from what would have been required without their use. There are both primary and secondary pacing items that must and are being addressed by the CFD research community. They include (1) three-dimensional grid generation, (2) turbulence modeling, (3) algorithm development, and (4) computer mainframe design advances. The secondary pacing items include (1) algorithm development, (2) complex geometry definition, and (3) input and output data processing. Most of this paper is devoted to a discussion of these pacing items. In addition, user demands on computational tools for simulations are also discussed.
The impact of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) on the traditional role of aeronautical ground test facilities over the next 15 years is assessed via a National Research Council study. More powerful scientific comput...

The computation of transonic flows using potential theory is fairly commonplace, although the computation cost is still high and, consequently, considerable effort has been expended in trying to reduce the total costs of the necessary calculations. One approach toward cost reduction is the development of the transonic perturbation theory. This note presents an investigation into the behavior of the transonic perturbation theory when shock waves vanish. It is shown that, when shock waves vanish, a piecewise application of the perturbation theory is necessary at that point since the equation set is discontinuous there. It is also shown that the range of transonic solutions can be constructed if the incompressible solutions and one transonic solution are known.

The representation of the dynamic behavior of a general linear discrete system by a second-order vector differential equation is considered along with the mathematical definition of the controllability and observability of a system. Although the rank conditions involved are conceptually simple, computational difficulties may arise for systems with many degrees of freedom. In an effort to develop more efficient conditions, Hughes and Skelton (1980) have used a decoupled form of the original equation, while Juang and Balas (1980) have considered conservative gyroscopic systems. Inman and Hsieh (1983) have discussed the active control of pseudoconservative systems. The main objective of the present investigation is related to an extension of the results on controllability and observability conditions proposed in the three earlier studies. The extension is to make applications to a broader class of systems possible. The model of a lumped-parameter system with general types of forces is considered.

The similarity laws governing the axisymmetric turbulent boundary layer have been the subject of prolonged debate. Herein constant pressure flow at velocity U past a circular cylinder of radius a with the axis aligned to the flow is considered. The asymptotic analysis shows that the inner and outer velocity distributions have functional dependences. The extended asymptotic theory permits a dependence of both the Karman parameter A and the outer intercept D on a// plus . The implied dependence of the outer flow on the viscosity (through a// plus ) may raise questions about whether the flow still can be characterized as fully turbulent.

A more direct method than has been reported previously to derive the conservative form of the equations of fluid dynamics in general nonsteady curvilinear coordinates has been presented. The geometric conservation law has also been derived as an aid to the development of compatible numerical algorithms.
