WHAT IS AERODYNAMICS?

Aerodynamics is the branch of dynamics that treats the motion of air (and other gaseous
fluids) and the resulting forces acting on solids moving relative to such fluid.

Aerodynamic results will fall into different categories of behaviour depending on velocity
range (slow speed, high speed, supersonic, hypersonic), depending on size and shape of
the object (large, small, complex 3D solid) and the physical properties of the fluid (dense,
rarefied, viscous, inviscid). Many different aerodynamic situations can be analysed using a
range of available theories.

The important steps of

● flow field definition,


● calculation of velocity field around the object,
● calculation of flow pressure and shear distribution,
● integration of these distributions on the surface of the body

are the tools used for most theoretical aerodynamic prediction. The aim is to be able to

Aerodynamics for Students : A Web Site dedicated to Theoretical Aerodynamics

predict the lift, drag, thrust and moments acting on objects or vehicles in motion.

WHAT IS LIFT?

Lift is the aerodynamic force acting at right angles to the direction of motion of the
object. It is produced by the interaction of the moving object and the fluid. This
interaction typically leads to a pressure differential being set up between upper surface
and lower surface of the object. The nett effect of high pressure below and low pressure
above will produce a force which sustains the object against descent due to gravity. The
physical mechanisms in the fluid/body interaction that create lift are very complex. The
laws of conservation of mass and momentum (including the effect of fluid rotation) result
in fluid flow paths, velocity and pressure distributions which can significantly change the
magnitude of lift due to small changes in flow angle or surface curvature. It is hoped that
by studying the following chapters on the theoretical basis of fluid flow, students will
begin to understand these mechanisms.

WHAT IS DRAG?

Drag is the aerodynamic force resisting the motion of the object through the fluid. It is
produced by front/rear pressure differences, shearing between fluid and solid surface,
compression of the gas at high speed and residual lift components induced by 3D flow
rotation.

WHAT IS THRUST?

Thrust is the aerodynamic force produced in the direction of motion and is required to
overcome drag and thus sustain the forward flight of the vehicle. It is produced by
mechanical means (an engine) which effectivily transfers energy into the flow, in the form
of increased fluid momentum. Thrust is the forward reaction to this fluid momentum
change.

WHAT IS MOMENT?

Moment is the aerodynamic torque produced by out of balance forces. An object or


vehicle has no solid structure to support it in the air. A balance is required and all forces
must act through the same point (typically the center of gravity of the object). Any
variation of the point of application for aerodynamic forces will produce a couple, leading
to a moment which will cause the vehicle to start to rotate. The study of these moments
and the effect they have on the stability of motion of the vehicle is covered in more detail
in the Flight Mechanics courses.

The primary system of units to be used in this text is the SI System.

Properties of Fluids

Properties of Fluids
1,2,3 Dimensional Flow and Unsteady Flow

In reality all flow is made up of three dimensional particles moving over time. However, in mathematical
terms fluid problems are classed as either 1, 2 or 3 dimensional based on the geometric complexity of
the problem. For a cartesian flow field based on coordinates (x,y,z), if the flow gradients in the z-
direction are zero then the flow is two-dimensional. If the gradients in both y and z-directions are zero
then the flow is one-dimensional. In a similar manner, if there is no time variation in the properties of the
flow then it is called steady flow, otherwise it is considered unsteady. There are many advantanges in
chosing a frame of reference for a flow problem that minimises the number of dimensions considered.
This is especially true if the frame of reference is moving with the disturbance to the fluid and hence the
problem can be classified as steady flow.

Mass ( ) .... Unit: Kg

Mass is the scalar measure of the amount of fluid material. The sum of the number of molecules
multiplied by their molecular mass.

Density ( ) .... Unit: Kg/m3

Density is a scalar measure of the mass of fluid contained within a given volume of flow.

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/fprops/index.html (1 of 7)28.1.2004 16:37:35


Properties of Fluids

Compressible and Incompressible Flow

Fluid problems are classed as compressible if there is a siglnificant change to the density of the fluid in
the flow. In cases of slow moving fluid, density changes are negligible and hence they can be solved as
incompressible flows.

Continuum and Rarefied Flow

In most cases fluid can be considered as a continuous medium. For example, in air at sea level, the
number of molecules per cubic meter is 2.5 x 1025. However for gases at high altitude or very small
scale gas flows (nano-technology flows) the mean free path of molecules (average distance between
collisions) becomes significant in comparison to the geometric size of the flow. These are classed as
rarefied flows and the individual molecular behaviour starts to dominate.

Velocity ( ) ... Unit : m/s

Velocity of the flow is the average speed of all molecules at a point in the flow at a given time. Velocity

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/fprops/index.html (2 of 7)28.1.2004 16:37:35


Properties of Fluids

is a vector quantity and can be constructed from three scalar components (u,v,w) (horizontal, vertical,
forward)

Temperature ( ) .... Unit : Kelvin

Temperature is a measure of the random molecular motion of the fluid at a point. The hotter the fluid
the more energy is stored in random motion of molecules.

Pressure ( ) ..... Unit : Pascal = Newton/m2

Pressure is the resultant force per unit area of the fluid as it impacts its surrounds. Because the
molecular motion is random, the pressure exerted by a small volume of fluid will be uniform in all
directions.

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/fprops/index.html (3 of 7)28.1.2004 16:37:35


Properties of Fluids

For a perfect gas, the mass of the gas per unit volume (Density) along with its internal energy
(Temperature) will determine the force it produces per unit area on its surroundings. Hence pressure is
directly related to temperature and density.

Where R is the gas constant based on molecular weight of the gas.

Viscosity ( ) .... Unit : Kg/(m.s) or N.s/m2

Viscosity is a measure of the "stickyness" of the fluid. High viscosity fluids stick together and produce
large friction on surroundings. Inviscid fluids (no viscosity) slip over surfaces producing no friction. The
viscosity of a fluid changes with temperature. For liquid it decreases with temperature whereas for
gases viscosity increases with temperature.

Kinematic Viscosity ( ) Unit : m2/s

Kinematic Viscosity is the ratio of absolute viscosity to the density of the fluid.

Fluid Shear Stress ( ) Unit : N/m2

Fluid viscosity will produce shearing between fluid layers. This is a dominant effect near surfaces. At
the surface the flow is stationary. There will be a shear layer between the surface and the fast moving

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/fprops/index.html (4 of 7)28.1.2004 16:37:35


Properties of Fluids

near surface flow, giving rise to surface friction.

For an elemental volume of fluid moving over a time step, dt. The distortion is proportional to the rate of
shear.

If the fluid is Newtonian this relationship will be linear and for the case of horizontal flow near a surface
the constant of proportionality will be the fluid viscosity.

Non-Newtonian Fluids

Some fluids such as paint, plastics and slurries (mixtures of small particles in water) do not show a
linear relationship between shear stress and deformation rate. These are classed as Non-Newtonian
and may exhibit varying behaviour.

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/fprops/index.html (5 of 7)28.1.2004 16:37:35


Properties of Fluids

Vorticity (rotation) ( ) ..... Unit 1/s

In cases with fluid shear and many other cases where external forces are applied the fluid can be made
to rotate. Vorticity is a direct measure of the rotation of the fluid at a point. For two dimensional flow,

In three dimensions, fluid rotation naturally occurs along lines in the flow. These may be long straight
lines, rings or complex intermediate curves.

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/fprops/index.html (6 of 7)28.1.2004 16:37:35


Properties of Fluids

Vorticity will thus be a local vector tangential to the line of rotation. The total amount of rotation in a flow
area caused by local vorticity is called the circulation.

Aerodynamics for Students

Potential Flow and Streamfunction


Potential Flow is an idealised method of modelling flow. If a flow is inviscid and
incompressible then a Velocity Potential function ( ) can be defined such that

, and

Substituting these expressions for horizontal (u), vertical (v) and transverse velocity (w) into
the governing continuity equation for a flow produces a Laplace equation the solution of
which is relatively simple.

becomes

In two-dimensional flow, streamfunction ( ) can be defined as a measure of the volume flow


rate of fluid between a pair of streamlines. Streamlines are defined by joining a continuous line
of points in the flow field by following the local velocity vectors.

Streamlines have a constant value of streamfunction since all the flow must be parallel to the
streamlines. No flow crosses a streamline. For two-dimensional, inviscid, incompressible flow,
continuity makes the local product of distance between streamlines and velocity a constant.
Thus the velocities in a flow field can also be found by differentiating streamfunction with
respect to the flow field coordinates y and x.

and

If the two dimensional flow is irrotational ( ) then streamfunction can also be used to
define a governing Laplace equation.

Velocity Potential ( ) and Streamfunction ( ) are orthoginal functions defining ideal,

Simple streamfunctions or velocity potential functions can be found which are exact solutions
for the above Laplace equations. Three such fundamental solutions are,

1) Horizontal Uniform Flow.

Aerodynamics for Students

A wide range of flows and flow around objects can be built up using these simple solutions.
The more complex potential flows can be constructed by the super-position of exact solutions
or as can be seen in later chapters numerical approximation techniques can be used with this
governing equation to solve a large range of aerodyamic problems.

For example, the addition of a closely spaced source and sink (negative strength source) in a
uniform flow produces the ideal flow around a circular cylinder,

1.2 Variation with Altitude

Pressure, temperature, density, viscosity and speed of sound variation for the international
standard atmosphere (ISA) can be calculated for a range of altitudes from sea level upward. This
is done using an exact solution to the hydrostatic equation for a column of air. The air is assumed
to be a perfect gas. In the lower region, the troposphere, the atmosphere has a lapse rate (L) of
6.5K/Km At an altitude of 36089 ft the stratosphere starts and the temperature remains constant at
217K. The hydrostatic equation, perfect gas law and the lapse rate equation are

dP/dh = -ρ g , P = ρ RT , T = To - Lh

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/atmos/atmos.html (1 of 5)28.1.2004 16:38:21


International Standard Atmosphere

where the variables used are

P -- Pressure (Pa);
T -- Temperature (K);
ρ -- Density (Kg/m3);
g -- Gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s2);
To -- Standard sea level temperature (288 K);
R -- Gas constant for air (287 m2/s2/K);
h -- Altitude above sea level (m)
and L -- Lapse rate (0.0065 K/m).

Solving the hydrostatic equation with a constant lapse rate gives the resulting pressure variation
in the troposphere.

P/Po = (T/To)(g/(L.R)) where Po is set at 101.3 kPa.

Solving the hydrostatic equation with a constant temperature gives the resulting pressure variation
in the stratosphere.

P/Ps = e(g/(RTs)*(hs-h))

where conditions with subscript (s) are values of altitude (hs), pressure (Ps) or temperature (Ts) at
the tropopause, the start of the stratosphere, the line dividing the two distinct atmospheric regions.

Once pressure has been calculated at a particular altitude, density is then calculated using the
perfect gas law. Viscosity and kinematic viscosity are found by applying the Sutherland law

And finally speed of sound is found as a = √ (γ RT)

Based on the above equations, a form is available which shows atmospheric properties for a
specific altitude. The form can also be used to predict Mach Number, Dynamic Pressure and other
altitude dependent properties if an input speed and reference length are given.

2. Correction for Air Density due to Humidity

The density of the air for a given level of humidity can be found by applying a correction factor to the
above calculated perfect gas density.
ρ = ρ pg Kh where ρ pg = P/(RT) .
The correction factor, Kh, can be found by using wet and dry bulb temperature measurements to
predict relative humidity as shown in the following table.

Aerodynamics for Students

Joukowski Transformations and Aerofoils

One of the ways of finding the flow patterns, velocities and pressures about streamlined shapes moving
through an inviscid fluid is to apply a conformal mapping to the potential flow solution for a circular cylinder.
The cylinder can be mapped to a variety of shapes and by knowing the derivative of the transformation, the
velocities in the mapped flow field can be found as a function of the known velocities around the cylinder.

A simple mapping which produces a family of elliptical shapes and streamlined aerofoils is the Joukowski
mapping. The 2-D cylinder (z1 flow field) is mapped to a streamlined shape (z2 flow field) using the mapping,

z2 = z1 + k2/z1

The mapping is done in complex arithmetic with z1 and z2 representing the complete coordinate space of each
flow field,

z1 = x1 + i.y1, z2 = x2 + i.y2

The transformation constant k is used to control the stretching of the flow field. A small k value will produce
a near cylindrical shape with large thickness to chord ratio. A large k value approaching the radius of the
cylinder will produce a very thin streamlined shape. Values of k greater than the radius of the cylinder
produce mappings that are NOT conformal and hence do not represent valid flows.

By adjusting the centre of the cylinder relative to the origin of flow field z1 the mapped object can be made
streamlined and curved.

thus producing a cambered Joukowski aerofoil section.

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/jouk/jouk.html (1 of 3)28.1.2004 16:38:22


Aerodynamics for Students

The velocities in flow field z2 can be determined by the derivative of the transformation function (dz2/dz1).

|V2| = |V1| / |1 - k2/z12|

where |V1| is the magnitude of the velocity at a point in flow field z1 and |V2| is the magnitude of the velocity
at the mapped point in flow field z2.

Pressure coefficients on the surface of the streamlined shape in flow field z2 can then be found by applying
Bernoulli's equation for inviscid incompressible flow.

Cp = 1 - (V2/V∞ )2

For streamline shapes with sharp trailing edges, such as Joukowski aerofoil sections, circulation must be
added to the flow to obtain the correct lifting solution. The value of circulation applied to the cylinder in flow
field z1 should be specified so that a stagnation point is produced at the point of intersection of the rear of the
cylinder and the x-axis. This point maps to the trailing edge of the aerofoil and when the correct amount of
circulation is applied the Kutta condition will be satisfied at the trailing edge of the aerofoil in flow field z2,
( ie. vorticity = 0 at trailing edge.).

Having obtained the correct lifting flow pattern, the lift will be a function of the amount of circulation applied.

2D Flow Aerofoil Sections

Aerofoil sections come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some are classified by their geometric
properties while others by their aerodynamic properties. One of the earliest and simplest naming
conventions is that for the NACA 4 and/or 5 Digit aerofoil families. Here the designation numbers
determine the mean line and thickness distribution of the section. More modern designation numbers
tend to incorporate values related to the aerodynamic behaviour of the section. All section geometries
will have methods for determining the surface x,y coordinates, the NACA system below represent a fist
attempt at a parametric representaion of camber and thickness.

NACA 4 and 5 Digit Aerofoil Sections

The NACA 4 and 5 Digit aerofoils represent two families of aerofoil section that can be generated by
the use of a set of simple polynomial equations. While these sections are slightly out of date in terms of
current aircraft usage, they still represent useful sections and are easy to create.

The aerofoils are created by summing a thickness distribution with a given mean line equation.

For both families of aerofoil section the thickness distribution is as follows,

yt=t/0.2*(0.2969*sqrt(x)-0.126*x-0.35160*x2+0.2843*x3-0.1015*x4)

where x is a position along the chord line, given as a fraction of chord and t is the value of maximum
thickness as given by the last two digits of the aerofoil designation number.(ie 0012 = symmetric
section with t(max)=0.12c)

For the 4-digit family, the mean line is given as,

yc=m/(p2)*(2*p*x-x2) for 0<x<p

yc=m/((1-p)2)*((1-2*p)+2*p*x-x2) for p<x<1

Values p and m are given from the first two digits of the designation number. m being the value of
maximum camber height (1/100ths chord) and p being the position of maximum camber height (1/10ths
chord). (ie 2412 = maximum camber height =0.02c located at 0.4c).

For the 5-digit family, the mean line is given as,

yc=k/6*(x3-3*m*x2+m2*(3-m)*x) for 0<x<p

yc=k/6*m3*(1-x) for p<x<1

Values p,k and m are found from the following table based on the first three digits of the designation
number.

------------------------------------------------
| Mean Line No. | p | m | k |
|---------------|---------|-----------|----------|
| 210 | 0.05 | 0.0580 | 361.4 |
| 220 | 0.10 | 0.1260 | 51.64 |
| 230 | 0.15 | 0.2025 | 15.957 |
| 240 | 0.20 | 0.2900 | 6.643 |
| 250 | 0.25 | 0.3910 | 3.230 |
------------------------------------------------

The value of maximum camber height and its position will now be determined by the section
construction process.(ie 23012 = maximum camber height =0.02c located at 0.15c).

The following program uses the above equations to construct the desired 4 or 5 digit NACA aerofoil
section. The program can also construct Joukowski sections as described in the previous chapter. The
user inputs the desired section designation number and the number of surface data points required.
Points are then generated using a cosine distribution of chord x coordinates. For each x coordinate an
upper (xu,yu) and lower surface (xl,yl) data point is created by applying the above equations and
construction method.

xu = x - yt sin

θ xl = x + yt sin θ yu = yc + yt cos θ yl = yc - yt cos θ

A leading edge radius r is applied to smooth the front data points.

r = 1.1019*t2

The coordinate data that is created can then be stored as an ASCII formatted data file for use with other
applications.

Thin Aerofoil Section Theory (2-D)

A simple solution for general two-dimensional aerofoil sections can be obtained by neglecting
thickness effects and using a mean-line only section model. For incompressible, inviscid flow, an
aerofoil section can be modelled by a distribution of vortices along the mean line.

The vortices along the mean line form a continuous vorticity distribution. The assumed distribution
function is shown in the following equation. This function is Glauert's approximation and is based
on Joukowski transformation results and obeys the Kutta condition with zero vorticity at the
trailing edge.

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/thinaero/thinaero.html (1 of 5)28.1.2004 16:38:28


Aerodynamics for Students

The vorticity distribution is given as a function of the angular variable (θ ) which is related to
chordwise position (x) as follows,

where c is the chord length. Note that chordwise position (x) is used instead of distance along the
mean line (s). For typical aerofoils with small camber, the difference is negligible.

The magnitude of the vortex distribution strength must be calculated to complete the mathematical
model. For these thin cambered plate models a boundary condition of zero flow normal to the
surface is applied in order to create an equation that can be solved for the required strengths.

The vorticity distribution function has two parts. The first is a constant coefficient (Ao) multiplied
by a tangent function which describes the variation due to angle of incidence effects. The second
part is a Fourier sine series which will account for variation due to camber. Finally, both parts are
scaled by multiplying by the freestream velocity.

Given an aerofoil geometry, freestream velocity and angle of incidence, the magnitude of the
coefficients (A0,A1,A2,....) is to be found by solving the condition of zero flow normal to the
surface. This condition can be formulated in terms of horizontal and vertical flow velocity
components.

thus

The ratio of vertical to horizontal velocity at the surface must equal the surface (mean line)
gradient.

Aerodynamics for Students

The flow horizontal and vertical velocities are made up of freestream and vortex induced
components.

and

where ui and vi are the horizontal and vertical velocities induced by the vortex distribution.

Both of these components will be much less than the freestream velocity so for small angles of
incidence the horizontal vortex induced component can be neglected. If small angle assumptions
are made for the incidence, the boundary condition equation becomes

The velocity induced vertically (vi) at any point on the mean line can be found by summing up the
effects of small individual segments (ds) of the vorticity distribution.

where x is the location at which the induced velocity is being calculated and s is the chordwise
location of the vortex element. Substituting this result for induced velocity into the boundary
condition equation gives

The solution for coefficients (A0,A1,A2,...) can now be obtained from this equation. The solution is
based on Glauert's integral method. The equation is summed along the chord line to find initially
coefficient A0. It is then scaled by cosine multiples and again summed along the chord. Each
scaled integration will yield one coefficient.

along chord line gives

And similarly integrating the Boundary Condition multiplied by cos nθ gives

Aerodynamics for Students

Once the vorticity coefficients are found the lift of a small element of the vortex line can be
predicted from the Kutta-Joukowski law. The complete lift is found by summing all elements of lift
from leading to trailing edge.

because of the sector symmetry of the vorticity function only the first two coefficients (A0,A1) will
contribute directly in this integration. Thus lift coefficient can be found as follows

By summing elements of vortex lift which are multiplied by a moment arm based on their distance
from the 1/4 chord point, the pitching moment coefficient can be found.

The following program accepts ASCII data files which consist of a list 2-D aerofoil section
coordinates. The format of these aerofoil input data files is the same as that produced by the NACA
4,5 Digit section generation program. There is an initial header line, followed by a line giving the
number of data points used to describe the aerofoil and then pairs of surface coordinate points (x,
y). The order of surface points is anti-clockwise, starting at the trailing edge, going back over the
upper surface around the nose and then forward along the underside back to the trailing edge.

From the surface coordinate data file, the program calculates a set of mean-line coordinate points to
use as the mathematical thin-aerofoil model. For a given angle of incidence, coefficients A0,A1,
A2,.... are calculated using the above equations. Since the mean-line model is a set of straight line
segments connecting data points, all integration is done numerically.

The program can then predict CL versus angle and Cm(1/4c) for the specified aerofoil section. The
result is a thin-aerofoil, inviscid flow approximation and therefore has no viscous boundary layer
effects. In particular, no stall prediction is possible and the predicted drag coefficient is zero.

Aerofoil Section Analysis using 2D panel methods and incorporating 1D


corrections for boundary layer flow

The prediction of aerodynamic properties of most aerofoil sections can be obtained relatively
accurately using two dimensional panel method analysis. The solutions will be primarily inviscid
flow predictions but with the introduction of some simple one-dimensional boundary layer theory,
the inviscid solutions can be corrected due to small viscosity effects. This allows estimation of lift,
drag and pitching moment coefficients for sections were there are only small effects due to flow
separation.

The solution is obtained by two separate calculations,

1. Inviscid panel method prediction of flow velocities and pressures.

2. Viscous boundary layer theory prediction of surface flow displacement and momentum
loss due to friction.

It is possible to iterate between the results of these two solutions until a final converged solution is
obtained but in many cases problems may arise due to the number of iterations required and the
possibility of an unstable iteration. A reasonable result is generally obtained by just using a single
pass of the solution parts.

2D Inviscid panel method


A potential flow model of any general aerofoil section can be modelled by descretising the surface
contour using flow singularity panels. Many different techniques are possible but for the program
shown below uses the following configuration for the panel method model,

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/panel2d/panel2d.html (2 of 6)28.1.2004 16:38:34


Aerodynamics for Students

Each panel ( j ) is a straight line segment between the aerofoil surface contour points ( j and j+1 ).
Along the panel there is a source distribution of constant strength ( ). The distribution
strength varies from panel to panel. As well, along the panels is a constant vorticity distribution (
). The vorticity is the sam on each panel around the contour and produces the required
circulation for the lifting section.

As the geometry of the section and the freestream flow conditions ( -- velocity , --
angle of attack ) are set, the requirement will be to define boundary condition equations in order to
determine the necessary distribution strengths ( and , j = 1 to N (number of panels) ),
for an accurate model of the problem.

A boundary condition of no flow through surface ( ) can be applied at the center of each
panel. This produces N equations in N+1 unknowns. In order to correctly solve for the extra
unknown vorticity, a Kutta condition must be applied at the trailing edge.

Aerodynamics for Students

For a single panel (i) the boundary condition will be applied as,

where the coefficients ( , ) represent the influence of panel (j) distribution strengths
on the control point of panel (i) and represents the freestream influence. All coefficients are
relative complicated functions (fn (x,y) ) of the geometry of the section : ie. due to orientation and
spacing of panels. See Appendix for details.

The Kutta condition, equatio N+1, can be applied in terms of trailing edge velocity,

This gives a system of linear equations which allow the solution for the required distribution
strengths to be found.

Aerodynamics for Students

Once the distribution strengths ( ) have been calculated, surface tangential velocities at
the center of each panel can be calculated ( ) and then surface pressure coefficients,

The lift coefficient can be calculated assuming a small angle of attack as the integration of surface
pressure coefficient acting in the y-direction, ie. projected on the x axis.

Solutions only need to be calculated for one or two angles of attack as the lift curve will be linear.
Stall and boundary layer effects are not predicted by the first part of the process.

Once the surface velocities have been predicted, it is possible to start some simple calculations for
the viscous surfce effects and drag cofficient.

Prandtl Lifting Line Theory (3-D Potential Flow)

A simple solution for unswept three-dimensional wings can be obtained by


using Prandtl's lifting line model. For incompressible, inviscid flow, the
wing is modelled as a single bound vortex line located at the 1/4 chord
position and an associated shed vortex sheet.

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/liftline/liftline.html (1 of 5)28.1.2004 16:38:38


Aerodynamics for Students

The span-wise lift distribution is assumed to be elliptical with a small


modification due to wing planform geometry. The assumed vortex line strength
is thus a Fourier series approximation.

The required strength of the distribution coefficients (An) for a given geometry
and set of freestream conditions can be calculated by applying a surface flow
boundary condition. The equation used is based on the usual condition of zero
flow normal to the surface. For 3-D wings the condition is applied at several
span-wise sections by matching flow and surface angles. The local flow angle
of incidence for a 2-D section of the wing must be equal to the sum of the
wing's angle of attack, the section twist and the downwash induced flow angle.
This downwash component is caused by the induced flow from the trailing
vortex sheet.

α 2-D =α - α i + θt
αi= wi/V∞
where α is the 3-D wing angle of attack, θ t is the wing twist angle and
wi is the velocity induced by trailing vortex sheet.
The vortex strength distribution in the trailing sheet will be a function
of the changes in vortex strength along the wing span. The
mathematical function describing the vortex sheet strength is thus
obtained by differentiating the bound vortex distribution.

A solution for the magnitude of the Fourier coefficients A1,A2,A3... is


obtained by firstly predicting the downwash velocity induced on the
wing by the trailing sheet.

Aerodynamics for Students

Then find the 2-D section lift coefficient as a function of the local flow
incidence and the bound vortex strength at this span location.

where ao is the section lift curve slope (∂ Cl/∂α ), α o is the zero lift
angle and c is the section chord.
Rearranging and substituting for the local angle of incidence.

Substituting for Γ and α i in terms of the Fourier series approximations


then a final boundary condition equation is obtained. The equation
contains the unknown coefficients and the known geometric properties
of the wing.

If a fixed number of coefficients (A1,A2,A3,A4...AN) is used then a set of


simultaneous linear equations will be obtained by applying the above
equation at "N" spanwise locations. A cosine distribution of spanwise
locations should be used to match the assumed wing loading distribution.
The number of coefficients used will determine the accuracy of the
solution. If the wing loading is highly non-elliptical then a larger number
of coefficients should be included. The solution for coefficients (A1,A2,
A3,A4...AN) is obtained by the reduction of the resulting matrix of
equations.
It should be noted that in cases were the wing loading is symmetric then
even coefficients (A2,A4,A6,....) will be zero and can be deleted from the
calculation.
The lift coefficient for the wing at a given angle of attack will be
obtained by integrating the spanwise vortex distribution.

so that CL = π .AR.A1, where AR is wing aspect ratio.


The downwash velocity induced at any span location can be calculated
once the strength of the wing loading is known. The variation in local
flow angles can then be found. A consequence of this downwash flow is
that the direction of action of each section's lift vector is rotated relative
to the freestream direction. The local lift vectors are rotated backward
and hence give rise to a lift induced drag. By integrating the component
of section lift coefficient that acts parallel to the freestream across the
span, the induced drag coefficient can be found.

so that CDi = π .AR.Σ (nAn2)


No real information about pitching moment coefficient can be deduced
from lifting line theory since the lift distribution is collapsed to a single
line along the 1/4 chord.

Special Case of Elliptical Loading


If the wing planform is elliptical, then it can be assumed that the wing
load distribution is also a purely elliptical function.
Γ (y) = 4sV∞ A1sin(θ ) = Γosin(θ )
In this case a single general boundary condition equation results
containing only one unknown, the vortex line strength at the wing root.
The exact solution of this equation leads to the following simple answer
for lift coefficient and induced drag coefficient.

Vortex Lattice Method (3-D)

A solution for three-dimensional wings of any general form can be obtained by using a vortex lattice
model. For incompressible, inviscid flow, the wing is modelled as a set of lifting panels. Each panel
will contain a single horse-shoe vortex. A bound vortex is located at the panel 1/4 chord position
with two trailing vortex lines shed from each end.

Both span-wise and chord-wise variation in lift can be modelled as a set of step changes from one
panel to the next.

The required strength of the bound vortex on each panel will need to be calculated by applying a
surface flow boundary condition. The equation used is the usual condition of zero flow normal to
the surface. For each panel the condition is applied at the 3/4 chord position along the center line of
the panel. The normal velocity is made up of a freestream component and an induced flow
component. This induced component is a function of strengths of all vortex panels on the wing.
Thus for each panel an equation can be set up which is a linear combination of the effects of the
strengths of all panels. A matrix of influence coefficients is created which is multiplied by the
vortex strengths and equal to a right hand side vector of freestream effects.

The influence coefficient Aij will represent the induced flow on panel i due to the vortex on panel j.
If all panels are assumed to be approximately planar then this influence coefficient can be calculated
as a relatively simple application of the Biot-Savart law along the three component vortex lines.

The result of this integration leads to the following formulae for influence coefficients in general.

The right-hand side terms for the boundary condition equations will depend upon the freestream
velocity, the angle of attack for the wing and the slope of the panels due to camber effects.

A solution for the strength of the vortex lines on each panel is found by solving the matrix of
equations.

Aerodynamics for Students

The lift coefficient for the wing at a given angle of attack will be obtained by integrating the panel
lift distribution. The lift on a particular panel can be found using the Kutta Law.

The downwash velocity induced at on a panel can be calculated once the strength of the wing
loading is known. The variation between local flow angles for the panel and the freestream velocity
can be found. A consequence of this downwash flow is that the direction of action of each panel's
lift vector is rotated relative to the freestream direction. The local lift vectors are rotated backward
and hence give rise to a lift induced drag. By integrating the component of panel lift coefficient that
acts parallel to the freestream across the span then the induced drag coefficient can be found.

The induced flow angle (alpha i) represents the amount of rotation of the lift vector backward and
must be calculated from the velocities induced on the bound vortex of the panel by other panels and
the freestream.

Pitching moment about the wing root leading edge can be calculated by summing the panel lift
multiplied by a moment arm which extends in the x-direction from the leading edge of the wing to
the centre of the bound vortex for the panel.

Supersonic Flow

Measurements in Supersonic Flow

The aim of this laboratory experiment is to familiarise students with a simple application of the rules of
gas dynamics. To complete the work successfully a student will need to understand the behaviour of
supersonic flow along with the equipment and techniques required to perform measurement of this flow.
A secondary aim is to familiarise students with alternate methods of theoretical flow prediction. In this
case direct molecular simulation of gas flow can be applied to the near-continuum region to determine its
accuracy against the known solutions provided by classical gas dynamic theory.
Experimental Procedure.
Observe the set up of the apparatus. Take note of each piece of equipment and its function. The high-
pressure gas supply line is attached via a manually operated valve to the converging-diverging two-
dimensional nozzle. Once the valve is open to give sufficient upstream stagnation pressure, the nozzle
will choke giving Mach 1 flow at the throat. Downstream of the throat (area A*) the flow Mach number
will depend primarily on the area ratio of the channel (A/A*) and a supersonic flow slightly above Mach
2 will be obtained. Click here to see nozzle geometry.
With a steel wall containing static pressure ports on the side of the nozzle, static pressure variation
along the nozzle length can be determined. The static pressure to stagnation pressure ratio at any point
along the channel can be used to predict local Mach number. This result can be compared to area ratio
predictions and discrepancies due to boundary layer effects, shock waves or surface imperfections can be
evaluated. Click here to see a diagram of the manometers used for this experiment.
With an empty test section, open the control valve and establish supersonic flow in the channel. Measure
the static pressure readings along the length of the nozzle. Measure the total pressure reading for the
upstream flow. Measure the atmospheric pressure in the lab. Recorded data can be written in the Tables
shown here.
With glass walls on the side of the nozzle and by means of a Schlieren optical system, the shock/
expansion wave system produced by objects placed in the flow can be seen. These flow patterns can be
recorded on film. Click here to see a diagram of Schlieren optical system.
Install a test shape into the test section of the channel. Again open the valve to establish supersonic flow.
Record the shock and expansion wave patterns using the Schlieren optical system.

Aircraft Performance

The calculation of the performance of a fixed wing aircraft can be


done using a set of simple force equilbrium equations. In most
flight conditions an aircraft will have force equilibrium in all three
dimensions. If a wind axis system is used with vertical being
defined at right angles to the freestream velocity vector then the
applied vertical forces will be a combination of lift, aircraft weight
and ground support reaction forces. For the horizontal axis parallel
SECTION 1: to the stream direction the applied forces will consist of a
Properties of the Atmosphere combination of thrust, drag, weight components and ground friction
effects. In the case of a turning aircraft the crosswind axis
SECTION 2 : equilibrium also needs to be considered as there will be additional
Aircraft Weight, Geometry, Lift/ inertial forces generated by centripetal acceleration.
Drag Coefficient and Engine
Thrust Properties. When the aircraft is not in equilibrium then the resulting
accelerations will cause dynamic motion which will need to be
analysed by applying the equations of flight mechanics and control.
In this chapter it is assumed that the aircraft is in equilibrium, or
near equilibrium, so that the simpler aircraft performance equations
can be applied. Calculations of take-off roll, field length, climb rate,
climb gradient, ceiling, range, endurance, turn rate, descent angle
and landing roll will be shown using basic equilibrium equations.

Analysis of Propellers
Glauert Blade Element Theory

A relatively simple method of predicting the performance of a propeller (as well as fans or windmills) is the use of Blade
Element Theory. In this method the propeller is divided into a number of independent sections along the length. At each
section a force balance is applied involving 2D section lift and drag with the thrust and torque produced by the section. At
the same time a balance of axial and angular momentum is applied. This produces a set of non-linear equations that can be
solved by iteration for each blade section. The resulting values of section thrust and torque can be summed to predict the
overall performance of the propeller.

The theory does not include secondary effects such as 3-D flow velocities induced on the propeller by the shed tip vortex or
radial components of flow induced by angular acceleration due to the rotation of the propeller. In comparison with real
propeller results this theory will over-predict thrust and under-predict torque with a resulting increase in theoretical
efficiency of 5% to 10% over measured performance. Some of the flow assumptions made also breakdown for extreme
conditions when the flow on the blade becomes stalled or there is a significant proportion of the propeller blade in
windmilling configuration while other parts are still thrust producing.

The theory has been found very useful for comparative studies such as optimising blade pitch setting for a given cruise speed
or in determining the optimum blade solidity for a propeller. Given the above limitations it is still the best tool available for
getting good first order predictions of thrust, torque and efficiency for propellers under a large range of operating conditions.

Blade Element Subdivision

A propeller blade can be subdivided as shown into a discrete number of sections.

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/propeller/prop1.html (1 of 8)28.1.2004 16:38:51


prop1

For each section the flow can be analysed independently if the assumption is made that for each there are only axial and
angular velocity components and that the induced flow input from other sections is negligible. Thus at section AA (radius =
r) shown above, the flow on the blade would consist of the following components.

V0 -- axial flow at propeller disk, V2 -- Angular flow velocity vector

V1 -- section local flow velocity vector, summation of vectors V0 and V2

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/propeller/prop1.html (2 of 8)28.1.2004 16:38:51


prop1

Since the propeller blade will be set at a given geometric pitch angle (θ) the local velocity vector will create a flow angle of
attack on the section. Lift and drag of the section can be calculated using standard 2-D aerofoil properties. (Note: change of
reference line from chord to zero lift line). The lift and drag components normal to and parallel to the propeller disk can be
calculated so that the contribution to thrust and torque of the compete propeller from this single element can be found.

The difference in angle between thrust and lift directions is defined as φ = θ - α . The elemental thrust and torque of this
blade element can thus be written as

∆ T = ∆ L cos(φ ) - ∆ D sin(φ ), ∆ Q/r = ∆ D cos(φ ) + ∆ L sin(φ )

Substituting section data (CL and CD for the given α ) leads to the following equations.

∆L = CL1/2ρV12c.dr and ∆D = CD1/2ρV12c.dr per blade

where ρ is the air density, c is the blade chord so that the lift producing area of the blade element is c.dr.

If the number of propeller blades is (B)

then ∆T = 1/2ρ V12 c (CL cos(φ ) - CD sin(φ )). B.dr. . . . . . . . .(1)

∆Q/r = 1/2ρ V12 c (CL sin(φ ) + CD cos(φ )) .B.dr

∆Q = 1/2ρ V12 c (CL sin(φ ) + CD cos(φ )) .B.r.dr . . . . . . . . . .(2)

2. Inflow Factors

A major complexity in applying this theory arises when trying to determine the magnitude of the two flow components V0
and V2. V0 is roughly equal to the aircraft's forward velocity (Vinf) but is increased by the propeller's own induced axial flow
into a slipstream. V2 is roughly equal to the blade section's angular speed (Ωr) but is reduced slightly due to the swirling
nature of the flow induced by the propeller. To calculate V0 and V2 accurately both axial and angular momentum balances
must be applied to predict the induced flow effects on a given blade element. As shown in the following diagram the induced
flow components can be defined as factors increasing or decreasing the major flow components.

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/propeller/prop1.html (3 of 8)28.1.2004 16:38:51


prop1

So for the velocities V0 and V2 as shown in the previous section flow diagram,

V0=Vinf + a.Vinf where a -- axial inflow factor

V2=Ωr - b. Ωr where b -- angular inflow factor (swirl factor)

The local flow velocity and the angle of attack for the blade section is thus

V1 = sqrt(V02 + V22) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (3)

α = θ - tan-1(V0/V2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(4)

3. Axial and Angular Flow Conservation of Momentum

The governing principle of conservation of flow momentum can be applied for both axial and circumferential directions.

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/propeller/prop1.html (4 of 8)28.1.2004 16:38:51


prop1

For the axial direction, the change in flow momentum along a stream-tube starting upstream, passing through the propeller at
section AA and then moving off into the slipstream, must equal the thrust produced by this element of the blade.

To remove the unsteady effects due to the propeller's rotation, the stream-tube used is one covering the complete area of the
propeller disk swept out by the blade element and all variables are assumed to be time averaged values.

∆ T = change in momentum flow rate

= mass flow rate in tube x change in velocity

= ρ 2π r.dr.V0 (Vslipstream - Vinf)

By applying Bernoulli's equation and conservation of momentum, for the three separate components of the tube, from
freestream to face of disk, from rear of disk to slipstream far downstream and balancing pressure and area versus thrust, it
can be shown that the axial velocity at the disk will be the average of the freestream and slipstream velocities.

V0 = (Vinf + Vslipstream)/2, that means Vslipstream = Vinf ( 1 + 2a)

Thus

∆ T = ρ 2π r Vinf ( 1 + a). (Vinf (1 +2a) - Vinf). dr

∆T = ρ 2π r Vinf2( 1 + a). 2a. dr

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/propeller/prop1.html (5 of 8)28.1.2004 16:38:51


prop1

∆T = ρ 4π r Vinf2( 1 + a). a. dr . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (5)

For angular momentum

∆ Q = change in angular momentum rate for flow x radius

= mass flow rate in tube x change in circumferential velocity x radius

= ρ 2π r.dr.V0 (Vθ (slipstream) - 0(freestream)). r

By considering conservation of angular momentum in conjunction with the axial velocity change, it can be shown that the
angular velocity in the slipstream will be twice the value at the propeller disk.

Vθ (slipstream) = 2bΩ r,

Thus

∆Q = ρ 2π r Vinf ( 1 + a). (2bΩ r). r.dr

∆Q = ρ 4π r3 Vinf( 1 + a). bΩ . dr . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (6)

Because these final forms of the momentum equation balance still contain the variables for element thrust and torque, they
cannot be used directly to solve for inflow factors.

However there now exists a nonlinear system of equations (1),(2),(3),(4),(5) and (6) containing the four primary unknown
variables ∆Τ, ∆Q, a, b. So an iterative solution to this system is possible.

4. Iterative Solution procedure for Blade Element Theory.

The method of solution for the blade element flow will be to start with some initial guess of inflow factors (a) and (b). Use
these to find the flow angle on the blade (equations (3),(4)), then use blade section properties to estimate the element thrust
and torque (equations (1),(2)). With these approximate values of thrust and torque equations (5) and (6) can be used to give
improved estimates of the inflow factors (a) and (b). This process can be repeated until values for (a) and (b) have converged
to within a specified tolerance.

http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/propeller/prop1.html (6 of 8)28.1.2004 16:38:51


prop1

It should be noted that convergence for this nonlinear system of equations is not guaranteed. It is usually a simple matter of
applying some convergence enhancing techniques (ie Crank-Nicholson under-relaxation) to get a result when linear aerofoil
section properties are used. When non-linear properties are used, ie including stall effects, then obtaining convergence will
be significantly more difficult.

For the final values of inflow factor (a) and (b) an accurate prediction of element thrust and torque will be obtained from
equations (1) and (2).

5. Propeller Thrust and Torque Coefficients and Efficiency.

The overall propeller thrust and torque will be obtained by summing the results of all the radial blade element values.

Τ = Σ ∆Τ (for all elements), and Q = Σ ∆Q (for all elements)

The non-dimensional thrust and torque coefficients can then be calculated along with the advance ratio at which they have
been calculated.

CT = T/(ρ n2D4) and CQ = Q/(ρ n2D5) for J = Vinf/(nD)

where n is the rotation speed of propeller in revs per second and D is the propeller diameter.

The efficiency of the propeller under these flight conditions will then be

η (propeller) = J/(2π ).(CT/CQ).

6. Software Implementation of Blade Element Theory

Two programming versions of this propeller analysis technique are available. The first is a demonstration program which can
be used to calculate thrust and torque coefficients and efficiency for a relatively simple propeller design using standard
linearised aerofoil section data. The blade is assumed to have a constant pitch (p) so that the variation of θ with radius is
calculated from the standard pitch equation.

p = 2π r tan(θ ).

The second is a MATLAB script file for the implementation of this method. The source code in this script is by default a
simple propeller design with linear properties. However with the inclusion of your own propeller geometry and section data
a more accurate analysis of the specific propeller design can be obtained.

Compressible Flow Tables

Part 1: Subsonic Flow (Isentropic Flow, Gamma=7/5)

Notation :

M = Local flow Mach number


P/Po = Ratio of static pressure to total pressure
rho/rho(o) = Ratio of local flow density to stagnation density (r/ro)
T/To = Ratio of static temperature to total temperature
Beta = sqrt(1-M^2) = Compressibility factor
V/a* = Local velocity / speed of sound at sonic point
q/Po = Dynamic pressure / total pressure
A/A* = Local flow area / flow area at sonic point

Compressible Flow Tables

Part 2: Supersonic Flow (Isentropic Flow, Gamma=7/5)

Notation :

M = Local flow Mach number


P/Po = Ratio of static pressure to total pressure
rho/rho(o) = Ratio of local flow density to stagnation density (r/ro)
T/To = Ratio of static temperature to total temperature
Beta = sqrt(1-M^2) = Compressibility factor
V/a* = Local velocity / speed of sound at sonic point
q/Po = Dynamic pressure / total pressure
A/A* = Local flow area / flow area at sonic point

Normal Shock Wave Data


Pressure, Mach number and temperature changes through shock waves. ( Gamma = 7/5)

Notation :
M1=Mach number of flow upstream of shock wave
M2=Mach number of flow behind the shock wave
nu=Prandtl-Meyer angle, (deg), for expanding flow at M1
mu=Mach angle, (deg), (sin^(-1)(1/M1))
P2/P1=Static pressure ratio across normal shock wave
d2/d1=Density ratio across normal shock wave
T2/T1=Temperature ratio across normal shock wave
Po2/Po1=Stagnation pressure ratio across normal shock wave

Wind Tunnel Experimental Data

Wind Tunnel Experiment Data Files


The following files were obtained by student groups from wind tunnel tests carried
out in the Department's wind tunnels. All files are in "raw data" format, directly as
recorded from the tunnel system. There are no guarantees that any of this data
has been correctly recorded and does not contain any obvious errors in data input.
No corrections for wind tunnel effects have been applied to the data. Check the
header information in each file to accurately determine the experiment to which it
applies.

2-D Aerofoil Section Data

Measured from the tunnel force balance system.

● NACA 0012 Aerofoil Section test


● NACA 0012 Aerofoil with 60 Deg Split Flap

2-D Section SD7062 Boundary Layer and Wake traverse data.

The following data files were obtained using hot-wire anemometer traverses of the
boundary layer and downstream wake of the SD7062 aerofoil section. Note that
position (vertical and horizontal) data and flow velocity data are uncalibrated. You
must get the appropriate calibration data files to use the data correctly. All
boundary layer traverses were done for an angle of attack of zero degs.

● Boundary Layer Traverse (Position 1)


● Boundary Layer Traverse (Position 2)
● Boundary Layer Traverse (Position 3)
● Boundary Layer Traverse (Position 4)
● Boundary Layer Traverse (Position 5)
● Wake Traverse (Alpha nominally 0 Deg)
● Wake Traverse (Alpha nominally 2 Deg)
● Wake Traverse (Alpha nominally 4 Deg)
● Wake Traverse (Alpha nominally 6 Deg)
● Wake Traverse (Alpha nominally 8 Deg)
● Wake Traverse (Alpha nominally 10 Deg)
● Wake Traverse (Alpha nominally -2 Deg)
