Abstract

The nonequilibrium condensation generating around the 2-D and 3-D wings in moist air, so-called 'Vapor Trail, ' is numerically investigated. The fundamental equations composed of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations and tho model equations for the phase change based on the classical condensation theory are solved using the fourth-order accurate compact MUSCL TVD scheme and the second-order Runge-Kutta scheme. As numerical examples, the 2-D transonic viscous flows around the RAE 2822 wing in moist air are calculated changing the relative humidity and the calculated results are compared with those in dry air and the experiment. Also the 3-D flows around the ONERA M 6 wing in moist air are preliminary calculated.
