70’s, numerical solution of Navier Stokes equation gave major influence in aerodynamics analysis.

Afterwards, many works was made by researchers to examine the capability of solution methods.

Jameson carried on aerodynamics discovery with his work on airfoils through numerical potential flow solution [3]. This work offers the solution of flow at sonic Mach number and also implements artificial viscosity as a shock wave treatment. The great work by Jameson on Euler methods can be found in [4] by solving Euler equation with finite volume methods. Those methods were solved by Runge-Kutta time stepping schemes. Engaged with time stepping schemes, accuracy of solution was improved and the stability region can be extended.

The latest work which applied Euler solution is found from Arias et. al [5]. In this research finite volume has been simulated for an attached flow over airfoil NACA 0012 by using Jameson, MacCormack, Shue, and TVD schemes. This work presented two computer codes where both approach implement finite volume methods to solve Euler equations. First code namely ITA works on two-dimensional structured grid and it possess the capacity to work with three different schemes: (i) the Jameson scheme using a five stage Runge-Kutta time integration; (ii) the MacCormack scheme, based upon the predictor and corrector strategy to advance in time; (iii) and finally the Shu scheme, which uses a variation of the Jameson time integration, in order to better capture of shock waves.

In order to improve accuracy, viscosity effect should be included based on boundary layer theory as referred in [6], where boundary layer parameter plays significant role in determining aerodynamics characteristics especially for case high Reynolds Number.

problem of single airfoil RAE 2822 is considered as relatively straightforward configuration. To accomplish the goal above, computer codes for TVD scheme and grid generation were utilized, which had taken from Blazek [10].

The criterion must be satisfied by grid generation process were 1) they domain is completely covered by the grid, 2) there is no free space left between the grid cells, and 3) the grid cells do not overlap each other. The detail about its governing equation would be described in the next section. The results of inviscid solution are mainly focused on pressure distribution, lift coefficient and moment coefficient. Due to Euler solution for inviscid flow domain, aerodynamics characteristics mentioned is sufficient enough without taking account of drag coefficient since the viscosity effect that affected the airfoil surface characteristics are neglected. Computer code that introduced in [10] is utilized namely AIRFOIL_ROE_SCHEME in solving the objective of study. Present study is separated in 4 study cases base on Mach number, M, angle of attack, AOA, and Reynolds number, Re which is listed as follow;

a) M = 0.676, AOA = -2.18, Re = 5.7 million b) M = 0.676, AOA = 1.90, Re = 5.7 million c) M = 0.725, AOA = 2.10, Re = 6.5 million d) M = 0.750, AOA = 2.10, Re = 6.5 million

For each case study, solution is extended to boundary layer calculation by integrating AIRFOIL_ROE_SCHEME of Roe’s scheme with computer code of Keller Box method. The governing equation of compressible flow is transformed to transformed coordinate via Falkner-Skan method. At this stage, flow will be dealt as laminar and turbulence due to tripped transition point. This computer code provides the data of boundary layer characteristics and will be compared to experimental data by Cook, McDonald, and Firmin [11]. In regard to previous work, the result will also be compared altogether to Navier-Stoke codes (ARC2D) [12] and Semi-Discrete Galerkin (SDG VII) [13] data respectively.

and represents a highly nonlinear partial differential equation

and there is no analytical solution. γ denoted as the ratio of specific heat capacities of the gas. In a two dimensional, Euler equation is wrote in hyperbolic equation form.

The additional parameter 𝜖 in (27) prevents the activation

of the limiter in smooth flow regions due to small-scale oscillations [10]. This is sometimes necessary in order to achieve a fully converged steady-state solution. For this purpose, 𝜖 is set at 0.00001 while other alphabets are defined as follow.

Description of Compressible Boundary Layer Equation Keller box is a method to solve partial differential equation which can be categorized as finite difference method. However, it is derived from the governing equation of compressible flow including mass, momentum, and energy equation with the algebraic eddy viscosity (εm) and turbulent Prandtl number (Prt ) formulated by Cebeci and Smith [8], they can be expressed as follows: ∂∂x

Grid Generation Generating grid for computational space can be undergone in various techniques. Present study uses structured grid C-type as obtained by Blazek [10] namely C_GRID_GENERATOR. This method is dealt with elliptic partial differential equation or specifically Poisson equation. C type is one of the grid topology which is enclosed by one family of grid lines and also forms the wake region. The situation is shown is Fig 3.1 where tangential lines( η =const. ) start at the farfield of perpendicular direction (ξ = 0), follow the wake, pass the trailing edge (node b), surround the body in clockwise, then reach farfield again at (ξ = 1). For the other grid lines( ξ = const. ) exudes in normal direction from the body and wake. The coordinate cut that is represented by segment of a-b of grid lines at ( η = 0) physically map onto two segments in the computational space namely a ≤ ξ ≤ b and b′ ≤ ξ ≤ a′ for lower space and upper space respectively.

IV. RESULT AND ANALYSIS

Numerical high resolution of Euler’s solver scheme namely

Roe’s scheme is represented in this section. An illustration

about computational space of RAE 2822 is shown in Fig 4.1,

where it is a result from C_GRID_GENERATOR code.

Fig 4.1 Structured grid of 2D RAE 2822 airfoil.

Case A

This test case performs of a RAE 2822 at Mach number (M)

of 0.676, angle of attack (AOA) of -2.18 and Reynolds

number (Re) of 5.7 million. The distribution of computed

pressure around airfoil surface is shown in Fig. 4.2, well

compared with experimental and Semi-Discrete-Galerkin

(SDG VII) data. Displacement thickness (DELS) and friction

coefficient (CF) of upper surface is shown in Fig. 4.3 and Fig.

4.4 respectively. All results for case A show a good agreement

with experimental data and mutually with SDG VII.

Fig 4.4 Friction coefficient distribution along RAE 2822 airfoil

Case B

At AOA of 1.90, M of 0.676, and Re of 5.7 million,

prediction of pressure coefficient as depicted in Fig. 4.5

becomes more deviant especially at upper surface. It should be

noted that for the upper surface flow achieved supersonic

speed and leads this miscomputation. The small errors also

found at lower surface near to trailing edge. However in

prediction of DELS and CF, it still gains well achievement as

shown in Fig. 4.6 and Fig. 4.7 respectively.

Case C

As M and Re is increased, the graph fashion entirely

changed due to the presence of shock wave. Nonetheless, the

computation gives an excellent result despite very small

overpredicted occurred along upper surface as illustrated in

Fig. 4.8. It also shows Roe’s scheme is better than SDG VII

method in working on inviscid flow regime especially dealing

with shock wave while, MUSCL interpolation scheme also

display well ability in reducing spurious oscillation of shock

wave. The boundary layer characteristics also been affected by

shock wave as shown in Figs. 4.9 and 4.10 for DELS and CF

respectively.

Case D

In this case, airfoil is set at M of 0.75, AOA of 2.72 and Re

of 6.5 million. From the Fig. 4.11, it shows overpredicted of

shock wave happened because of high Mach number then

produce very strong pressure gradient in the flow attached

upper surface. For the DELS and CF as depicted in Figs. 4.12

and 4.12 respectively, strong pressure gradient led flow

separation at 70% chord length and computation remains

failed to provide any boundary layer characteristics. ARC2D

demonstrates better method in dealing with such flow.

V. CONCLUSION

Present study has proposed a combination of Roe’s scheme

and Keller Box method as a computational method to deal

with a flow around 2D airfoil RAE 2822. As discussed in

previous section, present method reveals a good ability in

emulating experimental results as provided by Cook,

McDonald, and Firmin [11]. Meanwhile, MUSCL

interpolation scheme exposed an excellent performance due to

diminishing spurious oscillation for all case. Furthermore the

results of present study can be improved through interaction of

viscous-inviscid by updating inviscid velocity with Veldman

interaction law [8].
