Status of New Aerothermodynamic Analysis Tool for High-Temperature Resistant Transparencies,
Abstract
This paper summarizes the status of the definition, selection, modification, and development of a Specific Thermal Analyzer Program for Aircraft transparencies (STAPAT). The code developed will merge state-of-the-art technology, code accuracy requirements, and the definition of code function requirements resulting in an aerothermodynamic analytical technique that is specifically applicable and limited to the study of high-temperature resistant transparencies for high-speed aircraft. The aerothermodynamic methodologies required for the definition of the convective heat-load requirements of the STAPAT are described. These include the identification of inviscid methodologies covering the subsonic-to-supersonic-speed flight regime complex three-dimensional configurations consisting of real canopy geometries. The external forced convection methodology is described which includes complex three-dimensional effects resulting from the circumferential and streamwise variation of the local heating loads, the forced convection heat transfer as influenced by wall-temperature effects and transition location, and variable-edge entropy effects.
