Transonic Flow Around Swept Wings: Revisiting Von Kármán’s Similarity Rule

abstract: Modern aircraft are expected to fly faster and more efficiently than their predecessors. To improve aerodynamic efficiency, designers must carefully consider and handle shock wave formation. Presently, many designers utilize computationally heavy optimization methods to design wings. While...
