A PRELIMINARY CFD INVESTIGATION ON REAR FUSELAGE SUPPORT CORRECTION

摘要

Wind tunnel (WT) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have long been regarded as two indispensable tools in modern aircraft research and design.In this paper, CFD, serving as a complementary tool for WT, is emphasized. A few preliminary applications of CFD on WT support interference research performed in the authors' institute are introduced. Though there is still a long way to go, CFD here has demonstrated its superiority in quantification and visualization, clarifying and validating some understanding and practices in WT support interference corrections.
