Summary

A method of improving pressure distributions predicted by inviscid theory over two-dimensional aerofoils at transonic speeds taking into account shock-wave turbulent boundary layer interaction as obtained in the case of the flat plate is described.

The method was applied to a non-lifting circular arc aerofoil of eight per cent relative thickness. The shock wave location, pressure distribution and drag coefficient were calculated and compared with experimental and inviscid theoretical results.

It has been found that the method gives results which are consistent with experimental results in various aspects.
