    ζ z z z x iy µ x iy: Joukowski Airfoils

    The Joukowski airfoil is generated using a conformal mapping of a displaced circle. The thickness ratio and maximum camber of the airfoil are related to the displacement of the circle. The velocity on the surface of the airfoil is determined using the velocity on the surface of a cylinder with circulation and the conformal mapping. The circulation is determined using the Kutta condition to make the velocity at the trailing edge finite, and this allows calculation of the lift coefficient. Matlab routines are available to plot the geometry and calculate velocity fields.

    Joukowski Airfoils

    The concept behind Joukowski airfoils is to start with the known solution for flow
    about a cicular cylinder and to “map” this solution to the flow about an airfoil like shape
    using conformal mapping theory.
    Jouwski airfoils are generated by a conformal mapping of a displaced circle using
    the mapping function:
    ζ = z + 1/ z
    z = x + iy
    The cicle of radius=a is displaced by an amount
    µ = xc + iyc
    Therefore
    z = µ + aeiθ
    The thickness ratio (t/c) and maximum camber (m/c) are approximately related by
    xc = − (t / c) / 1. 299
    yc = 2 ( m / c )
    The geometry of the transformation is illustrated below. (Note that the displaced
    circle is located so that it passes through the point (1,0) )

    The velocity on the surface of a cylinder with circulation in a freestream at an angle of
    alpha is:
    Γ
    Vθ = − 2V∞ sin(θ − α ) −
    2 πa
    . The velocity on the airfoil is given by:

    dζ  z2 
    Vair = Vθ = Vθ 
     z2 − 
    dz  1

    The pressure coefficient is then:

    Vair2
    Cp = 1 − 2
    V∞
    The circulation is determined by the Kutta condition that requires the velocity at the
    trailing edge( θ = − β ) to be finite.The circulation and corresponding lift coefficient are:

    Γ = 4 πaV∞ sin(α + β)
    Cl = 2 π(a / c) sin(α + β)
