Navier-Stokes Simulation of Plume/Vertical Launching System Interaction Flowfields.

摘要

The application of Navier-Stokes methodology to the analysis of Vertical Launching System/missile exhaust plume interactions is discussed. The complex three-dimensional flowfields related to the Vertical Launching System (VLS) are computed utilizing the PARCH/RNP Navier-Stokes code. PARCH/RNP solves the fully-coupled system of fluid, two-equation turbulence (kE) and chemical species equations via the implicit, approximately factored, Beam-Warming algorithm utilizing a block-tridiagonal inversion procedure.
