I would like to simulate the flow around a 2D airfoil up to M=0.9.
Could you please recommend me some bibliography?

boneh3ad said:Is it a well known type of airfoil (typical NACA designation)? If so, there are quite a few books that would probably have all of that information available already.
The problem is, you want to go all the way up to Mach 0.9, which means you will start getting compressibility effects and all of the effects of transonic flow. You would likely need to go well beyond the basic theory of airfoils to get an accurate answer. In other words, how accurate does your answer really need to be?
At any rate, "Theory of Wing Sections) by Abbott and Doenhoff would likely be a good starting place.
A 2D airfoil is a streamlined shape that is designed to produce lift when placed in a moving air stream. It is commonly used in aircraft and wind turbine blades.
Simulating the flow around a 2D airfoil allows us to understand how the airfoil behaves in different conditions and at different angles of attack. This information is crucial in designing efficient and safe aircraft and wind turbines.
The flow around a 2D airfoil is typically simulated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. This involves creating a virtual model of the airfoil and using mathematical equations to simulate the flow of air around it.
The flow around a 2D airfoil can be affected by a variety of factors, including the airfoil's shape, angle of attack, speed and direction of the air stream, and the viscosity and density of the air.
The results of simulating the flow around a 2D airfoil can be used to optimize the design of the airfoil for maximum lift and efficiency. They can also be used to predict the performance of the airfoil in different conditions and to identify potential issues or areas for improvement.
