Calculating Vortices for Finned Missiles Using the WIND Flow Solver
Abstract
The U.S. Army Research Laboratory is interested in applying state-of-the-art computational tools to the study of projectile aerodynamics at angle of attack and moderate Mach number. The WIND flow solver has been used to study the aerodynamics of two missile configurations. WIND successfully incorporates grids generated by the GridPro grid generation package. WIND gives good scalability and good overall performance on parallel computer platforms. This report discusses several aspects of interest concerning generating grids to use with WIND and the process of obtaining solutions.
