Test Cases for Inviscid Flow Field Methods

Abstract

The escalating costs and the continuing limitations of wind tunnel testing together with the growing imperative to achieve the optimal design have rapidly increased the importance of computational fluid dynamics in the design of military aircraft. At relevant Reynolds numbers, inviscid flow methods continue to play an essential role in this design process. This document specifies relevant reference test cases to serve as validation bases for those developing new methods with improved accuracy and cost-effectiveness. These cases further serve as check cases for those learning to use existing production codes.
