School of Aeronautical Engineering The Queen’s University of Belfast, Northern Ireland

Keywords: transonic flows, shock oscillations, flow control, heat transfer

Using CFD analyses, the effects of flow control techniques, as the contour bump and the surface cooling concepts, are separately investigated in transonic periodic flow over 14% and 18% biconvex aerofoils.
