USM3D Unstructured Grid Solutions for CAWAPI at NASA LaRC

PAB3D Simulations for the CAWAPI F-16XL

“…For this purpose, new and existing CFD codes have to be validated, and their Technology Readiness Level checked and/or increased. To meet these objectives, several numerical studies [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] have been conducted to compute and compare predicted flow around the F-16XL with flight data. CAWAPI members embraced the idea of engaging in a cooperative venture.…”

A Survey of Factors Affecting Blunt-Leading-Edge Separation for Swept and Semi-Slender Wings

“…CFD solutions were contributed from nine groups using ten different solvers, including both structured and unstructured approaches, to assess predictive capabilities for these data. Two special sessions at the 45 th AIAA Aerospace Sciences meeting highlighted these individual contributions [references [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57], and a summary paper by Rizzi 57 [2007] was also included. Considerable effort went toward modeling the complex aircraft geometry at the high Reynolds numbers of the flight test data.…”

Review of Cranked-Arrow Wing Aerodynamics Project: Its International Aeronautical Community Role

“…Both of these can lead to significant time reductions from geometry specification to solver results. In the listing of papers that follow, authors have utilized their solvers -structured [19][20][21] or unstructured [22][23][24][25][26][27][28] -in order to determine the best practices for each code and type of flow combination and then made comparisons with either other predictions or flight data as they deemed appropriate. Each of these papers has its own focus, but also contains common comparisons.…”
