Lift and drag are the most important aerodynamic prameters for an airfoil. Accurate values for these parameters may only be obtained via CFD numerical simulations. In the present work, the two students undertook the challenge of writing a twodimensional compressible Navier-Stokes solver based on the new Spectral Difference Method developed by Z. J. Wang in 2006. They used their code to predict the aerodynamic performances of several airfoil shapes.
The Numerical simulation of a physical problem usually requires solving a set of Partial Differential Equations via a discretization process that requires a grid. The grid, which consists of a set of nodes and elements, covers the entire computational domain. In this work, the two students implement a newly developed method (Per-Olof Persson, MIT Ph.D. 2004) in their code for generating twodimensional unstructured triangular grids for arbitrary shaped regions.
