Computational Analysis of the Off-Design Performance of a Mach 6 (L/D) Ispmax Optimized Waverider

Résumé du livre

In a continuation of ongoing Naval Postgraduate School efforts to study the performance characteristics of waverider configured vehicles, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis of the Mach 6 L/DI(sp)(max) optimized Price waverider was conducted. This analysis was performed to determine the theoretical force and moment data over a broad Mach number spectrum, and to compare theoretical and experimental results in the subsonic flight regime. The CFD determination of force and moment data represents a continuation of the ongoing analysis of the Price waverider configuration. Selected viscous and inviscid flow solutions for flight conditions in the range 0.3
