Abstract

A three-dimensional Euler code is applied to a series of configurations of increasing complexity. Comparisons are made to experiments, or to other computations when the former is not available. The method uses the multigrid approach on sets of equally spaced Cartesian grid cells. A unique and robust implementation of the body surface boundary condition on grid cells not aligned with the surface provides accurate results on relatively coarse grids. All computational results are compared to experimental data with good agreement exhibited over a wide range of flight conditions. The solution accuracy is assessed for the Onera M-6 wing, with errors due to grid resolution of less than 1% being achieved for the lift and pitching moment coefficients.
