Lift and Drag Coefficients Calculation

Given the Mach number and airfoil geometry, the document calculates the lift and drag coefficients. It uses oblique shock equations to find pressures on each side of the airfoil, then uses those pressures in equations to calculate the vertical and horizontal force components. Those force components are then used to determine the lift and drag coefficients according to their definitions.

Problem 13.

208 [Difficulty: 4]

Given: Mach number and airfoil geometry


1 FU
RU
Find: Lift and Drag coefficients
FL
RL
Solution:

The given or available data is: R = 286.9 J/kg.K


k = 1.4
p1 = 95 kPa
M1 = 2
= 12 o

= 10 o

Equations and Computations:

Following the analysis of Example 13.14


the force component perpendicular to the major axis, per area, is

F V/sc = 1/2{(p FL + p RL) - (p FU + p RU)} (1)

and the force component parallel to the major axis, per area, is

F H/sc = 1/2tan(/2){(p FU + p FL) - (p RU + p RL)} (2)

using the notation of the figure above.


(s and c are the span and chord)

The lift force per area is

F L/sc = (F Vcos() - F Hsin())/sc (3)

The drag force per area is

F D/sc = (F Vsin() + F Hcos())/sc (4)

The lift coefficient is C L = F L/(1/2V 2A ) (5)

But it can be shown that

V 2 = pkM 2 (6)

Hence, combining Eqs. 3, 4, 5 and 6

C L = (F V/sc cos() - F H/sc sin())/(1/2pkM 2) (7)


Similarly, for the drag coefficient

C D = (F V/sc sin() + F H/sc cos())/(1/2pkM 2) (8)

For surface FL (oblique shock):

We need to find M 1n

The deflection angle is =  + /2

= 17 o

From M 1 and , and Eq. 13.49


(using built-in function Theta (M , ,k ))

(13.49)

For = 17.0 o

= 48.2 o

(Use Goal Seek to vary  so that  = 17o)

From M 1 and  M 1n = 1.49

From M 1n and p 1, and Eq. 13.48d


(using built-in function NormpfromM (M ,k ))

(13.48d)

p2 = 230.6 kPa

p FL = p2

p FL = 230.6 kPa

To find M 2 we need M 2n. From M 1n, and Eq. 13.48a


(using built-in function NormM2fromM (M ,k ))

(13.48a)

M 2n = 0.704
The downstream Mach number is then obtained from
from M 2n,  and , and Eq. 13.47b

M 2n = M 2sin( - ) (13.47b)

Hence M2 = 1.36

For p 02 we use Eq. 13.7a


(using built-in function Isenp (M , k ))

(13.7a)

p 02 = 693 kPa

For surface RL (isentropic expansion wave):

Treating as a new problem

Here: M 1 is the Mach number after the shock


and M 2 is the Mach number after the expansion wave
p 01 is the stagnation pressure after the shock
and p 02 is the stagnation pressure after the expansion wave

M 1 = M 2 (shock)

M1 = 1.36

p 01 = p 02 (shock)

p 01 = 693 kPa

For isentropic flow p 0 = constant

p 02 = p 01

p 02 = 693 kPa

For the deflection = 

= 10.0 o

We use Eq. 13.55

(13.55)

and
Deflection = 2 - 1 = (M 2) - (M 1) (3)
From M 1 and Eq. 13.55 (using built-in function Omega (M , k ))

1 = 7.8 o

Applying Eq. 3 2 = 1 + 

2 = 17.8 o

From 2, and Eq. 13.55 (using built-in function Omega (M , k ))

For 2 = 17.8 o

M2 = 1.70

(Use Goal Seek to vary M 2 so that 2 = 17.8o)

Hence for p 2 we use Eq. 13.7a


(using built-in function Isenp (M , k ))

p 2 = p 02/(p 02/p 2)

p2 = 141 kPa

p RL = p2

p RL = 141 kPa

For surface FU (isentropic expansion wave):

M1 = 2.0

For isentropic flow p 0 = constant

p 02 = p 01

For p 01 we use Eq. 13.7a


(using built-in function Isenp (M , k ))

p 01 = 743
p 02 = 743 kPa

For the deflection =  - /2

= 7.0 o

We use Eq. 13.55

and
Deflection = 2 - 1 = (M 2) - (M 1) (3)
From M 1 and Eq. 13.55 (using built-in function Omega (M , k ))

1 = 26.4 o

Applying Eq. 3 2 = 1 + 

2 = 33.4 o

From 2, and Eq. 13.55 (using built-in function Omega(M, k))

For 2 = 33.4 o

M2 = 2.27

(Use Goal Seek to vary M 2 so that 2 = 33.4o)

Hence for p 2 we use Eq. 13.7a


(using built-in function Isenp (M , k ))

p 2 = p 02/(p 02/p 2)

p2 = 62.8 kPa

p FU = p2

p FU = 62.8 kPa

For surface RU (isentropic expansion wave):

Treat as a new problem.

Flow is isentropic so we could analyse from region FU to RU


but instead analyse from region 1 to region RU.

M1 = 2.0

For isentropic flow p 0 = constant

p 02 = p 01

p 01 = 743 kPa
p 02 = 743 kPa

TOTAL deflection =  + /2

= 17.0 o

We use Eq. 13.55

and
Deflection = 2 - 1 = (M 2) - (M 1) (3)
From M 1 and Eq. 13.55 (using built-in function Omega (M , k ))

1 = 26.4 o

Applying Eq. 3 2 = 1 + 

2 = 43.4 o

From 2, and Eq. 13.55 (using built-in function Omega(M, k))

For 2 = 43.4 o

M2 = 2.69

(Use Goal Seek to vary M 2 so that 2 = 43.4o)

Hence for p 2 we use Eq. 13.7a


(using built-in function Isenp (M , k ))

p 2 = p 02/(p 02/p 2)

p2 = 32.4 kPa

p RU = p2

p RU = 32.4 kPa

The four pressures are:

p FL = 230.6 kPa
p RL = 140.5 kPa
p FU = 62.8 kPa
p RU = 32.4 kPa

From Eq 1 F V/sc = 138 kPa

From Eq 2 F H/sc = 5.3 kPa

From Eq 7 CL = 0.503

From Eq 8 CD = 0.127
