A viscous-inviscid interactive calculation procedure is developed for application to flow in cascades of two-dimensional airfoils. This procedure has essentially three components. First, a numerical solution of the Euler equations which can accommodate an arbitrarily specified cascade geometry is carried out on a nonorthogonal curvileanear grid mesh that is fitted to the geometry of the cascade. A method of grid generation has been used which relies in part on a succession of conformal mappings. Second, a viscous solution for use in boundary layer and wake regions has been programmed. Finally, an interactive scheme which takes the form of a source-sink distribution along the blade surface and wake centerline is employed. Results have been obtained with this procedure for several cascade flow situations, and some comparisons with experiment are presented.
