The effects of characteristic condition number on the convergence of preconditioned Navier-Stokes equations were investigated. The two-dimensional preconditioned Navier-Stokes adopting Choi and Merkle's preconditioning and the temperature preconditioning are considered. Preconditioned Roe's FDS scheme was adopted for spatial discretization and preconditioned LU-SGS scheme was used for time integration. It is shown that the convergence characteristics of the Navier-Stokes equations are strongly affected by the characteristic condition number. Also it is shown that the optimal characteristic condition numbers for viscous flows are larger than that in inviscid flows.

An approach to reduce cancellation errors of the temperature preconditioned Navier-Stokes equations is proposed. This approach is also applied to the conventional preconditioning methods. Adiabatic laminar viscous flows around a circular cylinder are calculated at different Mach numbers. It is shown that a redefinition of total enthalpy for reducing magnitude of the enthalpy remarkably alleviates cancellation problems of the temperature preconditioning.

The temperature preconditioning is applied to the Navier-Stokes equations. Also, a new concept of diffusion Mach numbers is introduced to modify the reference Mach number for the Navier-Stokes equations. Flows over a circular cylinder were calculated at different Reynolds numbers. It is shown that the temperature preconditioning improves the convergence characteristics of Navier-Stokes equations. Also, it is shown that the modified reference Mach number alleviates the convergence problems at locally low speed regions.

The present paper describes the optimum inverse design of 2-D linear cascade airfoil. The pressure coefficient of an airfoil surface is taken as the objective function, and non-orthogonal incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is applied to calculate the pressure coefficient. Both of steepest descent and conjugate gradient method have been used to make the objective function go to zero. The 1st order finite differential method is applied to the searching direction and the golden section method is used to compute the searching distance. As a result of the present work, a good convergence to the target airfoil has been obtained.

An unstructured finite volume method is presented for seeking steady and unsteady flow solutions of the two-dimensional incompressible viscous flows. In the present method, SMAC-type algorithm is implemented on unstructured triangular meshes, using second order upwind scheme for the convective fluxes. Validation tests are made for various steady and unsteady incompressible flows. Convergence characteristics are examined and accuracy comparisons are made with some benchmark solutions.

The computations of the flowfield and pollutant dispersion over a flat plate and the Russian hills of various slopes are described. The Gaussian plume and the puff model have been used to calculate concentration of pollutant. The Reynolds-averaged unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equation with low Reynolds κ-ε model has been used to calculate the flowfield. The flow data of a flat plate and the Russian hills from Navier-Stokes equation solutions has been used as the input data for the puff model. The computational results of flowfield agree well with experimental results of both a flat plate and Russian hills. The concentration prediction by the Gaussian plume model and the Gaussian puff model also agrees flirty well with experiments.

Here, the unsteady Navier-Stokes solver has been developed using implicit dual time stepping method. The implicit dual time stepping method introduced the pseudo time step for solving the new residual including the steady state residual and real time derivative. For the validation of code, Stokes 2nd problem, the laminar flow on the oscillating flat plate was selected and compare the calculating results with analytic solutions. The calculating velocity profile and skin friction has a good agreement with analytic solutions.

In this study, stator shroud injection in a single-stage transonic axial compressor is proposed. A parametric study of the effect of stator shroud injection on aerodynamic performances was conducted using the three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The curvature, length, width, and circumferential angle of the stator shroud injector and the air injection mass flow rate were selected as the test parameters. The results of the parametric study show that the aerodynamic performances of the single-stage transonic axial compressor were improved by stator shroud injection. The aerodynamic performances were the most sensitive to the injection mass flow rate. Further, the total pressure ratio and adiabatic efficiency were the maximum when the ratio of circumferential angle was 10％.

In the present paper, three types of the flow solvers were used to investigate the influence on the airfoil shape optimization. The adopted equations, i.e., Euler, thin layer Navier-Stokes and full Navier-Stokes ones. are solved using implicit LU-ADI decomposition scheme. The gradient projection method with the sinusoidal function was used as an optimization algorithm. The present numerical method was applied to the drag minimization problems under the initial shape of NACA0012 airfoils.
