CFD flow simulation in bottom areas of a high-speed aircraft.

The paper presents the results of numerical simulation of the airflow as compressible viscous heat-conducting medium in the tear-off zones arising near the surface of a high-speed aircraft having a segmental-conical shape blunted frontally to the oncoming flow. The developed mathematical model is based on solving the discrete analogs of the equations of gas dynamics on a structured computational grid for compressible viscous heat-conducting chemical neutral gas. For turbulence modeling two equation of the SST k-w model were added to Navier-Stokes equations. The presented results of modeling are compared with experimental data. The conclusions are made about the correctness of the application of the presented mathematical model for the prediction of flow parameters in tear-off zones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
