CFD Applications and Validations in Aerodynamic Design and Analysis for Missiles

Abstract

CFD examples at ADD are introduced to show their variety at its application in the course of a missile design. Four examples are an ogive-cylinder and boat tail, nose spike, vertical launcher internal and side jet interaction flows at supersonic flow region. Various means of validation for those complex flows are also described. This paper is thus intended to show how CFD and its validation share their role at the ADD aerodynamic research laboratory.
