Abstract
The steady-state transonic viscous flows over two wing-fuselage configurations are solved numerically. The 3D compressible thin-layer Navier-Stokes equations are solved by means of multistage timestepping similar to the Runge-Kutta method. The timestepping technique is applied with a multigrid scheme to make the transonic Navier-Stokes computations using the Baldwin-Lomax turbulence for closure and converging the solution on a grid of 1.52 million grid points with a C-O topology. Both generic and fighter wing-fuselage geometries are solved, and the results are compared to experimental studies. Solution convergence is found to be fast, and the fine grid generates accurate results for both configurations by means of the Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model. Results from the Johnson-King model calculations produce results that are more consistent with experimental results for the fighter configuration.
