The explicit-implicit predictor corrector method of MacCormack (1981) is applied to the analysis of flows past airfoils. By comparing results obtained with different methods and meshes, it is shown that the above method provides, after certain modifications, reasonably good predictions of inviscid and viscous flows about an airfoil. Good results are also obtained for the transonic regime if the free-stream conditions are correct and if a suitable mesh is used.
