Computational Fluid Dynamics Tools for Escape Systems Aerodynamic Analysis. Volume 1 of 2

Abstract

This report documents the findings of a SBIR Phase II study entitled "CFD Analysis of Drag Reduction on an Ejection Seat During High Speed Ejection". The main objectives of this study were to develop and validate Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methodologies for comprehensive aerodynamic analysis of ejection seat and occupant in free flight, and develop and adapt existing CFD technologies for analysis of ejection seat in proximity of aircraft for both steady-state and unsteady seat and aircraft separation using prescribed trajectory.
