Abstract

A numerical procedure to solve inviscid compressible flows about complex geometries has been described. Numerical solutions of transonic flows around a complete fighter aircraft has been compared with available experimental data. The results are quite satisfactory except in regions where viscous effects are important, which is a known limitation of the numerical model. Overall time for grid generation and solution are sufficiently low to use these tools for production.
