Project Summary
Slender bodies in supersonic flow at various angles of attacks involve shock waves interacting with boundary layer, cross flow shocks leading to flow separation etc., which affects drastically on the overall aerodynamic performance of the bodies. Hence these effects are studied using numerical simulations on slender bodies with/without fins placed at different vertical/axial positions to determine change in center of pressure location which determines the static stability of bodies. SU2 open source solver is used to resolve complex flow physics involving 3 dimensional multiple shock interactions with viscous boundary layer.
Tools used:
1)High quality Quad dominated unstructured grid generation using commercial meshing tool Pointwise/Gridgen.
2)Post-processing numerical results using commercial visualization tool TECPLOT 360EX/GNUplot.
