An interactive boundary-layer stability-transition approach is used to
calculate the performance characteristics of an infinite swept wing a
t low Reynolds numbers for several angles of attack. The inviscid flow
solutions are obtained from an inviscid method based on conformal map
ping and the viscous flow solutions from an inverse boundary-layer sch
eme which uses the Hilbert integral formulation to couple the inviscid
and viscous flow. The onset of transition is calculated by the e'' me
thod, based on two- and three-dimensional versions of linear stability
theory. Calculated results for an infinite swept wing with an Eppler
airfoil cross section are presented for sweep angles corresponding to
lambda = 30, 40, and 45 deg, and for Reynolds numbers of 3 x 10(5) and
4.6 x 10(5). The effect of sweep angle on lift and drag coefficients
is investigated together with the accuracy of predicting the onset of
transition with two versions of the e'' method.
