Abstract
The structure of the flowfield in the vicinity of the trailing edge of a flat plate at zero incidence in mixed transonic flow has been studied using viscous-inviscid interaction methods. The resulting nonlinear partial differential equations governing the flow were solved numerically using finite-difference methods for a range of values of a transonic similarity parameter which occurs in the mathematical formulation of the problem. Of special interest is the formula for the total drag coefficient of the plate as a function of the similarity parameter. Values of the similarity parameter have been chosen to ensure that subcritical, supercritical and mixed flow regimes are all considered.
