Application of Multi-Block, Patched Grid Topologies to Navier-Stokes Predictions of the Aerodynamics of Army Shell
Abstract
The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) 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. Computations have been done for several turbulence models. Numerical results are compared with experimental data for body surface pressures, flow field pitot pressures, and body loads.
