Abstract

A method for the solution of the time dependent Euler equations on unstructured grids is presented for unsteady flows about oscillating aerofoils. The flow solver involves a finite volume spatial discretisation and a Runge-Kutta time-stepping scheme. A dynamic mesh algorithm is used for problems where the aerofoil moves and/or deforms. Steady and unsteady results are obtained for single and multi-element aerofoils.
