Transonic flow is an important aerodynamic phenomenon that occurs in the high subsonic Mach number flight regime. This paper presents the development of a numerical simulation for three-dimensional transonic aerodynamic flows around an isolated wing. The mathematical formulation is based on a transo

โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, numerical methods for solving the transonic full potential equation are developed. The governing equation is discretized by a flux-biasing finite volume method. The resulting non-linear algebraic system is solved by using a continuation method with full Newton iteration. The continuation method is based on solving a highly 'upstream-weighted' discretization and then gradually reducing the upstream weighting. A general PCGlike sparse matrix iterative solver is used to solve the Jacobians at each non-linear step. Various types of incomplete LU (ILU) preconditioners and ordering techniques are compared. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate that these methods are efficient and robust for solving the transonic potential equation in the workstation computing environment.

In calculations of transonic flows it is necessary to limit the domain of computation to a size that is manageable by computers. At the boundary of the computational domain, boundary conditions are required to ensure a unique solution. Since wave solutions exist in the unsteady transonic flow field,
