Fundamental Physics Validation Using HPCMP CREATE™-AV Kestrel: Part Ⅱ

摘要

Kestrel is a fixed wing multi-physics computational based engineering (CBE) product of the Computational Research and Engineering for Acquisition Tools and Environments-Air Vehicle (CREATE™-AV) program. Kestrel offers many advanced features including mesh deformation for moving control surfaces, aeroelastic coupling, propulsion integration, overset analysis, and prescribed motion of multiple bodies that can be very useful for a variety of aircraft applications. To help ensure that these capabilities are as robust and accurate as possible, various fundamental physics validation cases were tested. This paper covers the results of the Three-Dimensional (3D) test cases, including: a transonic Onera M6 wing, a slender supersonic projectile, a high Reynolds number cylinder, and a supersonic axi-symmetric base. Results were compared to test data and results from other software packages. There was good agreement between the CREATE™-AV Kestrel results and the comparison data.
