Question: M 1 C = : A supersonic airfoil has equilateral triangular shape with tip angles of 5 . It is placed at an angle of
:
A supersonic airfoil has equilateral triangular shape with tip angles of It is placed at an angle of attack of against an airstream with
a Sketch the wave pattern around the airfoil.
b Use the exact shockexpansion theory to find the static pressure ratio in regions and
c Using linear theory, find an approximate value for static pressure ratio in regions and
d To compute the lift and drag of the airfoil, we first calculate the force per unit span acting on each airfoil surface since these are pressure forces, they act normal to the surface Summing the force components normal to flow direction gives the lift
Summing the force components parallel to flow direction gives the drag The nondimensional lift and drag coefficients are
where is the chord length. Compute and based on i the exact theory and ii the linear theory.
