Abstract: The influence of local pulsed-periodic addition of energy into a supersonic region on the flow structure and wave drag of an airfoil in transonic flow regimes is considered by methods of mathematical modeling. The study reveals significant prospects of the considered method of controlling airfoil performance in transonic flow regimes, including wave-drag reduction.

Keywords: transonic flow, wave drag, energy addition, Euler equations.
