Aero-Optics Code Development: Experimental Databases and AVUS Code Improvements

Abstract

Work has been performed in and coordinated by the Computational Sciences Branch to develop an in-house aero-optics predictive capability. This interim report summarizes the first two years of this effort. The work during this period has focused on acquiring high-quality experimental databases consisting of both aerodynamic and aero-optical measurements for future code validation, and the evaluation and improvement of the unstructured flow solver AVUS to solve representative flow fields.
