Evaluation of the Boeing Pan Air Technologies Code (A502i) Through Prediction of Separation Forces on the GBU-24.
Abstract
The Boeing PAN AIR Technologies code (A502i) is investigated to explore its suitability for determination of separation forces on ordnance. To this end, A502i is first assessed by applying it to three problems for which other solutions and experimental data are available, i.e. steady flow past a rectangular, parabolic arc wing and a delta wing at both subsonic and supersonic conditions. Good agreement is found in all cases. A502i is then applied to the GBU-24's being in two configurations for a subsonic case and a supersonic case. Good agreement is found with data obtained from wind tunnel experiments for low angles of attack.
