Abstract
Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes simulations have been done for transonic and low supersonic flow past a nonaxisymmetric nozzle typical of those advocated for advanced fighter airplanes. The jet exhaust is included in the calculations. The investigation compares the performance of the unmodified Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model with its performance when enhanced by the Degani-Schiff and the Goldberg modifications. Solutions are presented for Mach numbers of 0.80, 0.94, and 1.20 at 0-deg angle of attack and a Reynolds number of 20 x 10 to the 6th. The numerical results, which are compared to the wind-tunnel data, show that the three turbulence models predict considerably different shock locations, separated-flow regions, and flowfields.
