Abstract

Three-dimensional transonic viscous flow computations are presented for a generic high-speed accelerator model that includes wing, body, fillets, and a no-flow-through engine nacelle. Solutions are obtained from an algorithm for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations that incorporates an upwind-biased, flux-vector-splitting approach along with longitudinally patched grids. Results are presented for fully turbulent flow assumptions and include correlations with wind-tunnel data. A good quantitative agreement for the forebody surface pressure distribution is achieved between computations and the available wind-tunnel measurements at My = 0.9. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the flow is stagnating around the boattail region due to separation from the aft-engine cowl lip.
