Abstract
Sonic boom prediction is critical for the development of low-boom supersonic aircraft and encouraging a replacement of the overland commercial supersonic ban with a certification standard. The Third AIAA Sonic Boom Workshop near-field test cases provide a unique opportunity to review anisotropic adaptive-mesh strategies for complex geometries with important propulsion interaction effects. Anisotropic metrics formulated to control estimated Mach interpolation and integrated near-field pressure signature (goal-oriented) errors are compared with the results obtained on workshop-provided meshes. Detailed flow solutions and mesh renderings are combined with computational schlieren images to reveal the complex interactions present in a shock–plume interaction wind tunnel model and a prototype of the Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator. A favorable comparison of independent implementations of the entire simulation process provides evidence that each process is implemented correctly and sets a solid foundation for confidence in the near-field prediction of each method.
