“…Newman and Baysal [72] employed a hybrid domain decomposition for the transonic flow over a wingpylon-finned store, Tu et al [79] used unstructured grids to study the flow over a wing-pylonstore configuration in the transonic and supersonic speed range, and Fox et al [57] analyzed the flow around an F-15E aircraft with finned stores with a grid embedding technique. All methods agreed well with experimental data.…”

In transonic flow, the aerodynamic interference that occurs on a strut-braced wing airplane, pylons, and other applications is significant. The purpose of this work is to provide relationships to estimate the interference drag of wing-strut, wing-pylon, and wing-body ar- his office, leaving with more answers than questions. I also appreciate the fact that he has always had a friendly attitude towards me. I have enjoyed interacting with Dr. Kapania, whose cheerful attitude and perpective on life and research is very similar to mine. I would like to acknowledge the contribution of Dr. Grossman to the team in the field of numerical calculations and his desire of improving the life of the graduate students by forming the Graduate Advisory Committee. Dr. Raj deserves a lot of thanks for providing me with useful advice throughout this project despite his busy schedule. I appreciate the fact that he has always been interested in knowing more about the evolution of my research work and career. The "virtual" presence of Dr. Haftka during our weekly meetings has been very beneficial because of his ability to foresee difficulties and to get the team members to not lose sight of the big picture.

The integration of weapons into today's advanced military aircraft is a difficult, time-consuming, and expensive process. Traditionally, weapons integration testing has relied primarily on flight testing. Recent advances in computational fluid dynamics and the development of an integrated methodology using CFD, wind tunnel tests, and flight tests signifies a new opportunity to dramatically impact the time, cost, and accuracy of weapons delivery. In a joint program between the USAF SEEK EAGLE Office and the Arnold Engineering Development Center, the tools required for this integrated methodology have been successfuliy developed and validated for single event weapons. Recent comparisons have been made with flight tests to verify the effectweness of the integrated methodology. The potential for saving the time and cost of weapon system development is demonstrated.

“…CFD is not limited by the constraints of model complexity, scale, and support requirements that plague the wind tunnel when testing aerodynamic bodies in close proximity. The ability of CFD to accurately predict the loads and trajectories of stores in the flow field of a parent aircraft has been demonstrated by a number of investigators including Fox, et al, 1 Donegan and Fox, 2 and Nichols, et al 3 These studies indicate that CFD can provide meaningful insight into complex multi-body problems if care is taken to include the appropriate physical processes and geometrical detail. CFD also allows the analyst to look at the details of the flow field, adding insight that cannot be obtained from traditional wind tunnel tests.…”
